Cannot setup SSH keys for gitlab

I just generated my first SSH pair on my windows machine but I cannot seem to configure gitlab to be working correctly. I did:

  1. $ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "example@email.com"
    and generated public/private rsa key pair
    Your identification has been saved in /c/Users/name/.ssh/id_rsa.
    Your public key has been saved in /c/Users/name/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.

  2. Then I copied the public key by doing cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | clip

  3. I pasted this on the SSH keys part in the gitlab site under Settings and saved it, I can now see my ssh key there

Yet, when I do ssh -T git@gitlab.com, I get
The authenticity of host ‘gitlab.com (35.231.145.151)’ can’t be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:HbW3g8zUjNSksFbqTiUWPWg2Bq1x8xdGUrliXFzSnUw.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? yes
