Gitlab, why is the project not being pulled?

Question

git

Good afternoon, there is a gitlab server, there is one project, the customer assures that he has given all the rights. Through the web, the muzzle manages to create a branch, add a commit, push it all.
[email protected] MINGW64 /tmp/13
$ git clone gitlab.domen.ru/web/domen.git
Cloning into 'domen'...

$ cd domen/

$ touch README.md

$ git add README.md

$ git commit -m "add README"

$ git push -u origin master

I also tried it differently
[email protected] MINGW64 /tmp/13/1
$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in C:/TEMP/13/1/.git/
[email protected] MINGW64 /tmp/13/1 (master)
$ git remote add origin gitlab.domen.ru/web/domen.git
[email protected] MINGW64 /tmp/13/1 (master)
$ git add .
[email protected] MINGW64 /tmp/13/1 (master)
$ git commit -m "Initial commit"
On branch master
Initial commit
nothing to commit
[email protected] MINGW64 /tmp/13/1 (master)
$ git push -u origin master
error: src refspec master does not match any.
error: failed to push some refs to ' gitlab.domen.ru/web/domen.git '
Which one of us is stupid, me or the one who gave me access?

Answer 1

Did you add your SSH key through the web interface?
And yes, pushing an empty project in current versions should not work
