Hi
thanks for the help.No. I am not using PuTTY as terminal on W11.
I was able to upload the new key to Gitlab, but it still does not work.
Pageant seems to be running, and Sourcetree gives me a very suspicious message.
git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false --no-optional-locks push -v --tags --set-upstream origin master:master
Pushing to common-lisp.net:mantoniotti/cl-plot.git
Server refused public-key signature despite accepting key!
FATAL ERROR: Network error: Software caused connection abort
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.I am at a loss. This should not be so difficult.

I know this can all be very frustrating, but hang in there!
The two public keys you have from pageant are in PEM (aka base64) format. That format is no longer accepted by Github/Gitlab, which require the RFC4716 format instead.
I am wondering if you are using PuTTY as your terminal client on Windows 11. If so, you might find this particular section of documentation for working with PuTTY from Oracle to be helpful: https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/paas/goldengate-cloud/tutorial-change-private-key-format/#(Optional)ConvertppkformattoOpenSSH
In particular, by exporting the key from the PPK format PuTTY uses to the OpenSSH format, you can then import the OpenSSH format into both GitHub and GitLab.

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 bestMarco

HiI 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 --tagsOnce 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 youAll the bestMarco
