I am trying to clone a project from gitlab to my local machine. I have been granted rights as a developer, and use the command 'git clone

  • None of the protocols work (ssh and https neither work)

The error message I am getting:

remote: The project you were looking for could not be found. fatal: repository 'https://gitlab.com/KZA_Connected/skilltree.git/' not found

Any help would be highly appreciated.
