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

What are the rules for free accounts and the connection to gitlab?

Any instructions for beginners?

Thank you for your attention.

Free accounts can make HTTP or HTTPS requests to sites on the whitelist, and in addition we've been able to set up an extra way for people to make SSH requests to GitHub. Unfortunately that's not been possible with Gitlab so far, so you need to use HTTPS to clone from them rather than SSH. The repo URL will start with "https://", and you should be able to get it from the Gitlab repo page.
