I've just created a public test project in https://gitlab.com/zchrissirhcz/justtest . When clone it to local:

// this not working
git clone git://gitlab.com/zchrissirhcz/justtest

// but this working
git clone git@gitlab.com:zchrissirhcz/justtest.git

Cloning into 'justtest'...
fatal: read error: Connection reset by peer

I've also tried git clone with git protocal from github, and it just works:

git clone git://github.com/zchrissirhcz/pixel

Why does gitlab.com not support git clone with git:// for public repo?

What happens when you use `ssh -T git@gitlab.com`? – dan1st May 01 '21 at 06:39
@dan1st It shows "Welcome to GitLab, @zchrissirhcz!" – ChrisZZ May 01 '21 at 06:49
What OS do you use? – dan1st May 01 '21 at 06:55
Does one of [thede answers](https://stackoverflow.com/q/17977206/10871900) help? – dan1st May 01 '21 at 06:56
@dan1st I'm using Linux. ubuntu 20.04 – ChrisZZ May 01 '21 at 07:13
@dan1st Thank you for mention that SO page. Replace git:// with https:// solves the temporary problem but not explain why it is not valid to use. Ok, seems not very necessary to figure out this, now I switch to https://. – ChrisZZ May 01 '21 at 07:16

`Why does gitlab.com not support git clone with git:// for public repo?` Ask on gitlab, not here. This is not a programming question. And you should be able to configure git protocol in your gitlab instance. – KamilCuk May 01 '21 at 07:53
It could also be the case that ssh is blocked for this specific repository. – dan1st May 01 '21 at 08:43
