Solution

Make sure to answer yes at the "The authenticity of host 'gitlab.com' can't be established" step.

If you don't, the SSH connection won't complete, and the clone will fail.

That step should be asked only once, meaning your next ssh -Tvvv [email protected] should not ask you again the same question, since ~/.known_hosts will have been updated.

This is safer than StrictHostKeyChecking=no.
