How do I clone from GitLab?

Question

When I try to clone a project from GitLab it says "Failed to authenticate". I typed my username and password correctly(I've tried it few times), configured my SSH key. I've tried my access token instead of my password and still unable to clone. I'm using HTTPS clone

If you have configure your SSH key, make sure:

• said ssh key does authenticate your properly: ssh -Tv [email protected]

• to use an SSH URL when cloning your GitLab repository

  git clone [email protected]:me/myRepo
  

configured my SSH key. I'm using HTTPS clone

Then the SSH key does not matter.

Check your git config --global credential.helper: if set, it might have cached the wrong credentials.
