Re^5: perl in the stars

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!
fritz@laptop:~/.ssh$
[download]

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:

`fritz@laptop:~/Documents/gitlab1$ git init` This command has worked and has created an empty repo. Nothing you have done after that has put anything into the local repo at all. This is the crux of the problem. See Git Basics - Getting a Git Repository for some info on how to put things into your local repo and perhaps you can take it from there. 🦛	[reply] [d/l]

I'm getting closer, but I'm confused. What was the whole point of setting up an SSH key if they are asking me for a password? You are getting closer because now your repo has something in it, so that's better. You have set up a remote which uses https instead of ssh. Use `git remote -v` to show the remote URLs and you will see this. Change them to be ssh remotes instead so that you can use your key pair and you should be good to go. 🦛	[reply] [d/l]
Re^8: perl in the stars by soonix (Canon) on Dec 26, 2022 at 16:33 UTC
to elaborate on hippo's reply: in Re^5: perl in the stars you said: `git remote add origin https://gitlab.com/perlmonks/betelgeuse.git` [download] There are two ways to pull from your repository: HTTPS - which uses the same username and password as their web interface, and is usually read only/pull only (implicit) SSH, which uses an URL starting with `git@gitlab.com:` instead of `https://gitlab.com/` and uses the SSH certificate you uploaded on the setup page (similiar for other git services) By the way, is the "perlmonks" part in your URL real? This would imply your user name there is "perlmonks", since the URLs usually are "username/repo-name.git". If you look at your repo in the web interface, there is a (blue) button "Clone" above the file list, which should show you both URLs for HTTPS and SSH.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Instead of `git remote add origin https://gitlab.com/perlmonks/betelgeuse.git` you should do `git remote add origin git@gitlab.com:perlmonks/betelgeuse.git` [download] Although this URL doesn't mention ssh, it will use it.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Your branch is called "master" - push that instead. It is still unlikely to work because your remote URL looks wrong (it has no colon). 🦛	[reply] [d/l]
