in thread perl in the stars

I have a single ssh key that I use for authentication, connected to my email address. Github gets the public key (as does the git config on any other remote git server I interact with). After any reboot, the first command I run is ssh-add so that all terminals I open already have my credentials (nobody else has access to this computer), and interaction with github and others is seamless.

Ok, I thought I was getting the upper hand with this:

$ xclip -sel clip < id_rsa.pub

But then...

fritz@laptop:~/.ssh$ ssh -T tallharry66@gitlab.com
The authenticity of host 'gitlab.com (2606:47...:a9b9)' can't be estab
+lished.
ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:....w.

+list of known hosts.
tallharry66@gitlab.com: Permission denied (publickey).

So I'm not there yet. Was the .pub one the right one to give to gitlab?

(I hope I haven't left my auth key bare here.)

is @gitlab.com right?

    After copying the locally stored public key to clipboard (xclip ...) one needs to paste it to gitlab's dashboard's relevant textbox, I think.

      Indeed. It needs to go in here.

        Thx, hippo, I had gotten that far. I was able to find syntax help at gitlab help forum.

        fritz@laptop:~/.ssh$ ssh -T git@gitlab.com
Welcome to GitLab, @tallharry66!

        But I still can't get over the hump. I try to imitate what I remember doing with github, but I'm not getting through the usual command sequence:

        cd existing_repo
git remote add origin https://gitlab.com/perlmonks/betelgeuse.git
git branch -M main
git push -uf origin main

        [download]

        I am making progress:

    I think we are not supposed to use ssh directly to login to gitlab/github/bitbucket/etc, only via git clone/push/pull/...
    You are supposed to create a repository via the web interface, and they show you the correct git incantation to connect your local repo with the remote.
    PLUS you might have to select "ssh" instead of "http(s)"...
