There is a very simple solution to this: instead of working with ssh - move to https. to do this: in your project folder you have a .git folder in there - you have a config file - open it in a text editor and change the line

url =git@gitlab.com:yourname/yourproject.git

to

url = https://gitlab.com/yourname/yourproject.git
