I just created a personal GitLab account and am trying to follow the steps on

https://gitlab.com/help/ssh/README

to deploy my SSH key to GitLab. I've completed up to step 5, and see my SSH key among 'Your SSH keys' in my User Settings -> SSH keys:

I'm trying to now complete the optional 6th step, testing the key:

My GitLab username is khpeek, so I guessed my 'GitLab domain' is gitlab.com/khpeek. However, the test command

ssh -T [email protected]/khpeek

yields an error message:

ssh: Could not resolve hostname gitlab.com/khpeek: Name or service not known

Apparently this is the wrong hostname. What would be the right one?

If you're using Gitlab on gitlab.com then the domain is simply gitlab.com so you should run ssh -T [email protected]
