Cannot git clone from my own repo

RJDan

I am trying to clone the documentation for ubports to my phone (desktop mode) to edit locally.
I have forked the docs on gitlab, I created the ssh keys on the phone (Wth passphrase) and I have added the public key to gitlab.
I ran the command below to test the connection. It worked after I entered the passphrase for the key.

ssh -T git@gitlab.com

but when i try to clone my fork with this

git clone git@gitlab.com:MyUserName/docs.ubports.com.git

I get the following

Cloning ....
load key ... : Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

I can clone public repos ... so it is not an issue with connecting to gitlab.
Any advice?

Could you try explicitly referencing the key file with the clone?

git clone -c core.sshCommand="ssh -i ~/.ssh/my_gitlab_ssh_key" \
          git@gitlab.com:MyUserName/docs.ubports.com.git

No luck. I get the same message when I specify the key as you suggested. I would guess it needs my passphrase but does not prompt me for it. What agent thing does UT use for secrets?

One way to debug this is to see what ssh is doing:

GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -v" git clone git@gitlab.com:MyUserName/docs.ubports.com.git
