I setup a new project in GitLab and followed instruction given in GitLab to setup repo in my laptop. But, I am getting error: RPC failed; HTTP 503 curl 22 The requested URL returned error: 503 ServicUnavailable

git clone https://gitlab.com/{my_username}/{prject_name}.git
cd {prject_name}

touch README.md
git add README.md

You might have cloned read-only. I'm not sure about Gitlab, but often it is not possible to push to a repo cloned via https.

I suggest cloning with ssh.

git clone [email protected]:{username}/{project_name}.git
