Create an SSH Key
Run the following command and pick all the defaults to the prompts.  This tutorial doesn't explain how to use passphrases.

Be mindful the command above is a super basic way.  GitLab mentioned the following options at the end of the ssh-keygen command.  See the picture below or visit the GitLab Docs​

Test SSH Connection
The following commands should say Hello or Welcome followed by your username if you set everything up correctly.  Learn more at the GitLab Docs or GitHub Docs.
$ ssh -T [email protected]
$ ssh -T [email protected]
Are you still getting Permission Denied?
Make sure you are in your root when running this command.  Also, be mindful you will replace SSH_FILENAME with your filename.
$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/SSH_FILENAME
