Cannot fork gnome calendar : You have reached your project limit

Can anyone guide me?

You need to add a SSH key to your gitlab profile. This is necessary to avoid spam bots that have been creating accounts and abused GNOME resources.

I am trying to use SSH method, but it denies me permission.
It gives me the following error :
git@gitlab.gnome.org: Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic).

You should have added this to your .ssh/config file I think:

  Host gitlab.gnome.org
      Hostname ssh.gitlab.gnome.org

Then run ssh -T git@gitlab.gnome.org to verify that you can connect.

If you can’t connect you didn’t set up the shh key correctly. Check that you generated the shh key pair and added it to your GNOME GitLab account correctly. See the linked page for info about those steps.

Is the correct key added on your GNOME GitLab account? Ssh · User · Help · GitLab

I guess it was a temporary problem. It did not fork for me 5 hours ago either, but now it works again.

Yes ! It is . I removed all the ssh keys from my device as well as gitlab account and followed the instructions again

gnome gitlab sign-in is now not possible? Why ? It was google first, and now its GitLab. I have lost my account twice and it’s frustrating. How do i recover my account?

I think the spambot wave is still happening :frowning:

For account recovery you can contact the infrastructure team (Matrix channel and email links are on the sign-up page) or you can register a new account with an email address from a not-blocked email provider;

how do i contact admins? I am not able to register with gitlab using my email :confused:

I meant this page: Sign up · GitLab. The contact info is under 1.

I see you successfully created an account, this particular thread should be resolved then. Please confirm if that’s not the case, thanks!

Yes it has been resolved , thank you everyone for help :slight_smile:
