Oh well. I have a ssh-agent running. I am using Git Bash on a W11 machine.
$ ssh-add Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.
BTW. I am also trying to get SourceTree to work. I have Pageant running with my keys loaded.
I noticed that I do not have my most recent public key loaded on Gitlab (but it has two old ones that *shoould* still work). But the site does not understand (and* I do not fuc*ing understand*) the format in which the key should be pasted in there.
I generated the key with Pageant and the file contains what you see in the screenshots.
I apologize for the tone, but I really really believe that both Github and Gitlab have gone way off on a tangent with all of this. Especially because they have not gone back to git to improve the messaging.
All the best

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.gitgit 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
