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$

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:

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
