I just created a personal GitLab account and am trying to follow the steps on
https://gitlab.com/help/ssh/README
to deploy my SSH key to GitLab. I've completed up to step 5, and see my SSH key among 'Your SSH keys' in my User Settings -> SSH keys:
I'm trying to now complete the optional 6th step, testing the key:
My GitLab username is khpeek, so I guessed my 'GitLab domain' is gitlab.com/khpeek. However, the test command
ssh -T [email protected]/khpeek yields an error message:
ssh: Could not resolve hostname gitlab.com/khpeek: Name or service not known Apparently this is the wrong hostname. What would be the right one?

In order to communicate over SSH (Secure Shell), you must have an SSH key pair. Each SSH key pair has a public and a private key.
The SSH stands for Secure Shell or Secure Socket Shell used for managing the networks, operating systems and configurations and also authenticates to the GitLab server without using username and password each time. You can set the SSH keys to provide a reliable connection between the computer and GitLab.
If you're using Gitlab on gitlab.com then the domain is simply gitlab.com so you should run ssh -T [email protected]
