Unable to clone gitlab repo behind proxy using ssh

I am having some trouble while cloning the gitlab repo on corporate network when using the url git clone [email protected]:TestProject/Test.git whereas cloning using https just works fine.

Below error is seen while cloning

ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists

So it seemed like the port 22 was blocked by the corporate firewall due to which git clone was failing.

Although the other problem i was facing of multiple authentication ( gitlab username & password ) prompt during repo sync got resolved by using

git config --global credential.helper store --file ~/.my-credentials

where ~/.my-credentials contains the gitlab url with username & password
