Cant clone ssh/https to my mac from gitlab

Question

I have had an issue with pushing/pulling changes to GitLab, so I decided to remove the git repository on my mac.

However, now it wont let me clone the project again.
I am met with various error messages and have tried everything to fix the problem, with no luck. I cant clone with either SSH or HHTPS.

I have now deleted my ssh-key and made a new one (I think) that I have connected to GitLab.

I will provide a picture and text with the error messages I get:

marcus@Marcuss-MacBook-Pro-2 cd .git
marcus@Marcuss-MacBook-Pro-2 .git % git clone git@gitlab.stud.idi.ntnu.no:marcuslj/rentadog-git 
Cloning into 'rentadog'... 
ssh: connect to host gitlab.stud.idi.ntnu.no port 22: Operation timed out
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

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

marcus@Marcuss-MacBook-Pro-2 .git git clone https://gitlab.stud.idi.ntnu.no/marcuslj/rentadog.git

I first try with SSH, then HTTPS as you can see. None of them work. Have already scattered all over the inte.net to try and find a solution, with no luck.

Now I am at the point where I just want to reinstall git completely, which I have also tried and didn't manage to do...

So anyways, if anyone could help me, that would be great.

While you might have a.network/firewall issue preventing you to use SSH, HTTPS should work.

Make sure to create a PAT (Personal Access Token) , and use that as a password.

While you are at it, make sure the GCM (Git Credential Manager) is installed: that will help you to cache your credentials (username/token).
That way, you won't have to re-enter them again on each push.
