GitLab Error: Connection Refused
git, gitlab
Solution
You can test your SSH key authentication with:
`$ ssh -T git@yourhost.com`
Check that your public key is saved in your Gitlab profile, and make sure no newlines are present in the string. Then check that git is using your correct private key if you have more than one.
Also consider that Gitlab may require the repository to exist; the push won't create a new repo.
Problem
I have a cloud server from Digital Ocean that is hosting `GitLab`. Whenever I try to create a repository and push it to GitLab, I am getting the following error : ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly I am fairly new to git so I am confused why I keep getting this error. I also have generated and added my SSH key to GitLab. Here are the steps I take to create the repository (per GitLab's instruction): ``` mkdir test cd test git init touch README git add README git commit -m 'first commit' git remote add origin git@idAddress git push -u origin master ``` Any suggestions?
