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?

Sorry, there were snap connections that I had not set, so git-confined could not access the ssh keys. I have corrected it now and it works.
I have successfully cloned the docs repo.

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

@arubislander
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
