You can actually use the https link if you login using a Google, Twitter or GitHub link but you have to have an actual GitLab password. If you’ve already created your account by logging in with a social network, all you have to do is use the Forgot Password feature.
- log out and then use the “Forgot your password?” button and put in the email address of the social network you logged in with.
- Once you get the email, “change” your password which will have actually set your GitLab password
- You should now be able to use the https: clone url with your username and the password you just set.
