If you’re using a bash/zsh environment, use ‘ssh-add’ to load your private keys into the ssh agent before you interact with the remote repository.

Hi

I am trying to import a repo in Gitlab.  I just created the repo using the web interface (CL-PLOT).
This is what the instructions on the site say.

cd existing_repo
git remote rename origin old-origin
git remote add origin git@common-lisp.net:mantoniotti/cl-plot.git
git push -u origin --all
git push -u origin --tags

Once I try git push I get the dreaded message.

$ git push -u origin --all
git@common-lisp.net: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.


Why?  I.e., why doesn't git understand the 2FA I set up a long time ago?  Why I cannot get my SSH keys to work?  How can I change the remote spec in order not to have to go through this every other month?

Thank you

All the best

Marco
