Docs feedback: Public projects cannot be cloned without any authentication.
https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/public_access/public_access.html
Unsure if you have a bug on gitlab.com or not but you cannot clone public projects without having setup an ssh key first. This means anon access is not possible. I just wanted to clone a public repo. I can't. I just tried this on both Linux and Windows and the same occurred:
git@gitlab.com: Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
So either you have a bug, the documentation is out of date or (unlikely) there is something wrong here. Thanks.
