What did you do?

Add ssh key to gitlab and check ssh server address:

ssh://[email protected]:2224/gamedev/commons.git

Add a new ~/.gitconfig entry:

git config --global url."[email protected]:".insteadOf "https://gitlab.private.com/"

Export GOPRIVATE in ~/.zshrc (also could export GONOSUMDB and GONOPROXY, but not necessary).

export GOPRIVATE="gitlab.private.com"

Trying to get package:

go get gitlab.private.com/gamedev/commons

What did you see happen?

go: module gitlab.private.com/gamedev/commons: git ls-remote -q origin in /home/sedyh/.local/share/go/path/go1.23.1/pkg/mod/cache/vcs/b58bd48d22cffaaf92db9d87a71861290aa006affbdfbefce917125ccddb3f60: exit status 128:
        [email protected]: Permission denied (publickey,password).
        fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

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

What did you expect to see?

Working download.
The key is 100% right, I've rechecked it several times.
It should work because gamedev is userspace, not the subgroup.
I guess its related with ssh server is being on 2224 port and not 22, because it worked on a different gitlab instance with a standard port. I think : in insteadof config should be able to use any port? Also, adding :2224 in exported variables and ~/.gitconfig does not help so I don't know what else can I try to make it work.

you also need ssh config

You also need ssh config.

@seankhliao, I think the key is in ssh config, it was added via ssh-add. So it may be a bug.

ssh-add -l

Well, that was happening because there was two servers on my machine and git was looking on 22 which is tty, and not gitlab ssh server ._.

So I need to specify the port manually:

cat ~/.gitconfig
[user]
        email = [email protected]
        name = Artem Sedykh
[url "ssh://[email protected]:2224/"]
        insteadOf = https://gitlab.private.com/
