I just joined gitlab, was formally on using GitHub, still is.
I created a new project on gitlab and I am trying to push but am getting a permission denied(public key) error.

This are the list of files I have in the ssh folder on my system:

  1. github_rsa,
  2. github_rsa.pub,
  3. known_hosts.

When I checked for how to generate an ssh key, I saw on gitlab that firstly I should type %userprofile%\.ssh\id_rsa.pub in command line to check if I have it and I typed it in exactly as %userprofile%\.ssh\id_rsa.pub, and I got this 

C:\Users\slodd' is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file.

I don't know if I typed it in wrong by typing it in exactly because I actually just copied and pasted it on commandline.
I haven't worked with ssh keys before. I'm using a windows 10 system.

What you need to do is to generate an ssh key dedicated to your gitlab server:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -f "%USERPROFILE%\.ssh\gitlab_rsa" -C "key for GitLab access" -q -P ""

Make sure your <git>/usr/bin folder is in your %PATH% for ssh-keygen to be recognized as a command.

Then reference your private key in your %USERPROFILE%/.ssh/config file.

#
# Main gitlab.com server
#
Host gitlab.com
RSAAuthentication yes
IdentityFile 'C:\Users\slodd\.ssh\gitlab_rsa
User git
