Problem:
Unable to use the source control feature on VS Code due to authentication problems

Setup:
Editing on a Windows Laptop then remoting into a linux server via VS Code's SSH extension. The Git repo is setup on the linux server. I'm able to push/pull/etc. via the command line to the repo, but the source control feature fails. The following error arises:

Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied, please try again.
git@[company gitlab domain]: Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

I've tried to regenerate the SSH keys and that did not solve the problem. The credentials in windows are set correctly as well.

gitlab vscode-remote ssh-keys python

The credentials in windows are set correctly as well.

If by "credentials", you are talking about username/password cached in the git config credential.helper, that would not help SSH at all, since this is only used for HTTPS URLs.

I'm able to push/pull/etc. via the command line to the repo, but the source control feature fails.

double-check the remot eURL on command-line, from the Linux server, in the root folder of that Git repository:

git remote origin

Make sure it is an SSH one

You could replace it by:

gl:<me>/<myrepo>

With gl an entry set in the remote account ~/.ssh/config

Host gl
  Hostname: [company gitlab domain]
  User: git
  IdentityFile: /home/aUser/.ssh/aKey
