Connecting to git remote from Laravel devcontainer on VSC on windows - windows

Question

I'm using a devcontainer in Visaul Studio Code on Windows.
I built this devcontainer with the laravel sail helper. It runs on Docker desktop and WSL2.
This is the devcontainer json:
// https://aka.ms/devcontainer.json
{
"name": "Existing Docker Compose (Extend)",
"dockerComposeFile": [
"../docker-compose.yml"
],
"service": "laravel.test",
"workspaceFolder": "/var/www/html",
"settings": {},
"extensions": [
// "mikestead.dotenv",
// "amiralizadeh9480.laravel-extra-intellisense",
// "ryannaddy.laravel-artisan",
// "onecentlin.laravel5-snippets",
// "onecentlin.laravel-blade"
],
"remoteUser": "sail",
// "forwardPorts": [],
// "runServices": [],
// "postCreateCommand": "apt-get update && apt-get install -y curl",
// "shutdownAction": "none",
}
And this is the docker composer file:

It's been working really well for working locally and pushing to my github repo.
But now I need to make a push to the production site.
So I tried
git remote add namecheap xx.xx.xx.xx:xxxx/home/user
git push namecheap dev
Unable to negotiate with xx.xx.xx.xx port xxxx: no matching host key type found. Their offer: ssh-rsa,ssh-dss
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
So I tried a few things which didn't work. Could someone kindly explain HOW I could add a ssh key to this devcontainer or forward the agent?
Bear in mind that all the basic linux tools are missing. I don't even have vim or sudo inside this container. And have no idea how to add them. And do not know the SU password.

Answer 1

I gave up on this approach and instead called a git pull from the production site, after figuring out how to access the terminal
