Having a hard time learning how to push my Git repository to gitlab. Currently getting this error:

ssh: connect to host gitlab.stud.idi.ntnu.no port 22: Connection timed out fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.

I (think I) have connected my SSH on the gitlab website. However I did have some issues on that end too, and I'm therefore unsure whether I did everything right. Most notably when asked to enter a passphrase, my cmd would not take any input other than enter, so I guess I don't have one (or one was generated idk.) EDIT: Managed to change my private SSH keys passphrase. When trying to change the public one, it gives bad permissions error.

I have two files in my .ssh folder: "id_ed25519" and "id_ed25519.pub". And on GitLab, my ssh key is registered. But I don't understand whats stopping me from pushing my git testing rep to GitLab...

This may be your terminal not showing which or how many characters you type your password.

About the SSH timeout: What does GitLab's connection Verification output for your GitLab server (probably ssh -Tvvv [email protected])?

On that page further up, there is also advice on how to set your ~/.ssh/config file. If your GitLab admins configured a different SSH, please ask them for details, or check their documentation for advice.

I got it to work, eventually, the issue was regarding my univerisity recently started using 2FA which meant I could not use HTTPS to connect to GitLab. Therefore I had to use SSH, which I already had set up, but most importantly I had to be on the schools network, either physically or by using a VPN. Fortunataly, I had the VPN, and managed to push my test-project to my project on GitLab.
