Problems connecting vscode through SSH to gitlab

Question

I am facing problem while trying to connect to GitLab remote repo through SSH here are the steps done so far:

• Successfully generated SSH keys
• Administration added the keys to the repo, so when I am on GitLab website, I am able to commit and publish branches

I can't publish branches from VSCODE and getting the below error and I am using MAC.

Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Answer 1

so when i am on gitlab website i am able to commit and publish branches

That has nothing to do with your local SSH key.

Test first on your local computer (Mac) if your key is working with:

ssh -Tv [email protected]

That will try and use your ~/.ssh/id_rsa private key, which means your ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub public key must have been registered to your SSH profile GitLab account first.
