Git permission denied, but everything seems fine

Question

I had no problem so far with git, but without any apparent reason I cannot do anything and it keeps me giving "permission denied". The credentials are set, also the ssh is correct and if I do ssh -vT git@gitlab.com it connects without problems. But I cannot pull, commit or clone anything. How can I solve this?

UPDATE: This is part of the output for the ssh command

Command: ssh -vT git@gitlab.com

Authenticated to gitlab.com ([172.65.251.78]:22).

When I do the git clone git@gitlab.com:laramar/1972_theme_omeka.git:

remote: 
remote: ========================================================================
remote: 
remote: The namespace you were looking for could not be found.
remote: 
remote: ========================================================================
remote: 
fatal: Impossibile leggere dal repository remoto.

Assicurati di disporre dei privilegi d'accesso corretti
e che il repository esista.

Plus, I got some strange folders in my home. Like "GPUCache" or "Local storage". They are all like that

and they appeared from nowhere...

Can you provide more details such as what output you receive for the ssh command as well as the clone/pull command? — Arty-chan, Sep 24 '21 at 16:32
Can you include the command you used (redacted as necessary)? If it's a public repo, can you include a browser access link to the project? — Arty-chan, Sep 24 '21 at 16:49
That's the repo: https://gitlab.com/laramar/1972_theme_omeka — Lara M., Sep 24 '21 at 16:51
The folders don't seem to be related. I googled some of their names and found threads talking about bugs in PDF software like Adobe Reader and Nitro. — wjandrea, Sep 24 '21 at 17:21
No, I think it's related because they appear everywhere I use git commands — Lara M., Sep 24 '21 at 17:23
HTTPS clone worked for me (`git clone https://gitlab.com/laramar/1972_theme_omeka.git`), so I bet this problem is specific to GitLab's SSH. I don't have a GitLab SSH account to check. — wjandrea, Sep 24 '21 at 17:23

VS Code employs caching and storage to restore state and provide a faster experience, with the full tree displayed here.

Your SSH URL should have worked (see also this issue)
But if SSH fails (for instance, if it is not usable, in a corporate environment setting), switch to HTTPS.
