I've been following this guide in the Qt Creator manual to connect my gitlab repo with Qt Creator for Windows. Following the steps under "Cloning Projects" works just fine until I click on "Clone" when it says "Cloning failed.".

In my lack of understanding I've tried both an access token for the specific project and my account, made the project both private and public, tried both the git@ and https Repository option, tried a different project, an empty project, a project with the exact directory Qt creates and a project with just the Qt files.

Is there anything I've missed?

Since I was previously using Github with Atom for version control, which I didn't need Git for, the problem was that I hadn't had Git installed.
