Problem to solve

On the documentation page https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ssh/ , paragraph "Testing that everything is set up correctly", the suggested command "ssh -T git@gitlab.cern.ch" did not work for me. Even in the verbose mode, it stopped at "debug1: Connecting to gitlab.cern.ch [188.185.68.13] port 22". However, I could clone without problem a repository from git@gitlab.cern.ch.

I had to do "ssh -v -v git@gitlab.cern.ch -p 7999" to make it work. I was troubled by this, and I think the documentation should be adapted. I work on a Dell Precision, Ubuntu 18.04, if that makes any difference.
