Cannot get GitLab to allow me access

How to Use GitLab
1

Hi all, my GitLab project refuses to allow me to upload or fetch even though I have SSH keys sorted and matching, I am set as the maintainer of the project, any ideas? Thanks for any help :slight_smile:

Hi,

in order to answer this question, we need a little more details about your system and your attempts with git fetch here. First off, please share the version of GitLab. In case it is self-hosted, you can find it via the /help URL.

Then please share the shell output when you’re doing a clone/fetch. Is there anything different to using ssh -vvvv e.g. a connection problem or similar? What exactly means “refuses”?

Cheers,
Michael

Hi,

so you are cloning/fetching with HTTPS instead of SSH. There’s two options here:

  • Pass the correct basic auth credentials and leave the origin to https
  • Change the local git configuration for the repository in .git/config - origin and adopt the git clone URL to git@.....

Cheers,
