git - How can I clone a private GitLab repository?

Question

When I do this:

git clone https://example.com/root/test.git

I am getting this error:

fatal: HTTP request failed

When I use SSH:

git clone username git@example.com:root/test.git

I am getting this error:

Initialized empty Git repository in /server/user/git@example.com:root/test.git/.git/
fatal: 'user' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

It's a private repository, and I have added my SSH keys.
