The issue is, whe

Answer 1

I had the a similar problem: Gitlab server is inside a docker container and every time when I tried to push changes, I had: git@localhost's password:

the root cause was using "localhost" as a name. Right way is to check out the IP of the GitLab's container by: $ docker inspect

find the row: "IPAddress": "172.17.0.2",

test it by: ssh -T git@172.17.0.2 the answer should be like this. "Welcome to GitLab, @user_name!"

now it's necessary to fix repository's URL: $ git remote set-url origin git@172.17.0.2:user_name/repo-name.git

after that the push command should work properly.
