How to Use GitLab

After I added ssh key and try to push my files i seen this message

The authenticity of host 'gitlab.com (54.93.71.23)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:HbW3g8zUjNSksFbqTiUWPWg2Bq1x8xdGUrliXFzSnUw.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?

Any Suggestions?

Type yes to continue. You can see the ssh fingerprints in https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-com/settings/

thanks axil for reply , now after type yes as you mentioned , i face new issue

 GitLab: Deploy keys are not allowed to push code.
 fatal: Could not read from remote repository

Do you faced this issue before ?

It seems that you used a deploy key which will not work. They are only used to read.

Instead, add it to your account in https://gitlab.com/profile/keys.

I cannot find the link to the ssh fingerprints at the link you posted: all I could find is here but the fingerprint seems to have changed since then.

This page seems to no longer have the ssh fingerprints, and, after a thorough google search, they don’t seem to be available from a reliable online source. Bummer :confused:

Hi, the settings have been moved under https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-com/settings/ :slight_smile:

Thanks!

It seems the link from https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-com/ was never updated. Under “Where can I find detailed information on GitLab.com’s settings, such as SSH host keys and its runners?”, the “GitLab.com settings” link returns a 404.

Oops, nice catch! I submitted an MR https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/merge_requests/7358/diffs.

Great, thanks again.

This error is concerning, though, because the security risks ought to be addressed, so this message doesn’t happen.

I have solved this issue by deleting my .git folder and gitignore file, after this I re-initialized the git with git init and did all the process again to push my code

For future visitors, the appropriate, permanent reference for this appears to be on docs.gitlab.com.

@axil The URL from MR #7358 is now either a 404, or it hangs until the browser (Firefox) finally reports “a script on this page is slowing down Firefox.” Is that a concern?

Philosophically speaking, aren’t the SSH host key fingerprints important enough to merit a prominent place on the website, perhaps in the site footer? I’m not singling out GitLab here, I believe it’s a common deficiency, and extends to things like developers’ GPG signing keys, too.
