Announced February 22, GitLab 14.8 has new SSH key types supporting OpenSSH 8.2, with backing for FIDO/U2F hardware authenticators with ecdsa-sk and ed25519-sk key types.

That’s right, using the combination of SCP, SSH key authentication, and ssh-agent works well. This will keep you from having to type that SSH key password every time you issue the SCP command.

To copy the key, issue the command ssh-copy-id 192.168.1.62 If you’ve never used SSH to access that server, you’ll first be prompted to type yes to continue.
