Thanks, Doug! The “save private key” button was the magic step that I was missing.

 

Now I am able to fetch the repo and push my change, but I am not done yet, am I? I need to go somewhere to monitor and approve it now?

Yeah, the key on Windows is to make sure the SSH2 home on the General tab points to some where useful, like C:\Users\dschaefer\.ssh, and that you click the Save Private Key button to save it there.

It would require having such a key in the first place. I understand the theory of it and I’ve seen tools to gen key pairs, but I don’t know where I am supposed to stash the private key, for instance so that it will hookup with the public key on Gerrit.

If you have your keys generated with openssh, they are put in the regular ~/.ssh folder, which Eclipse and EGit will use. So just generating the keys should be enough.

Yep. Tried this URL:

https://kkomissarchik@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/r/p/simrel/org.eclipse.simrel.build.git

Getting “not authorized” when trying to push.

Ok, that's not a very helpful error message.
Is this URL the same as the one you see in https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/admin/projects/simrel/org.eclipse.simrel.build when selecting HTTP ?  Gerrit had an issue with some users in the past, creating different Gerrit users for the same account.
