无法克隆现有的Gitlab存储库

Question

I have a project on gitlab which I am trying to clone locally (Windows 7) using

git clone git@gitlab.com:USERNAME/projectname.git

But I see this error:

Cloning into 'foldername'...

GitLab: The project you were looking for could not be found.

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.

I know that the repo definitely exists as I can see it under my GitLab account.

I also tried the solution posted here , but I get this error:

fatal: unable to access ' https://USERNAME@gitlab.com/USERNAME/projectname.git/ `: SSL certificate problem: unable to get the local issuer certificate

I'm pretty sure I have had this working in the past using SSH rather than HTTPS, so not sure if this is the right route to go down.

I have added a SSH key to the project and my local machine, and have no idea where to go from here - appreciate any help or guidance!

Answer 1

This was not working because %USERPROFILE% was set to some other directory which was not C:\\users\\user.name\\ .

I was grabbing the ssh key from C:\\users\\user.name\\ , but this key was actually related to another project and server altogether.

When executing ssh-keygen , I was passing in %USERPROFILE% as the path, not knowing that the value had changed.
