Yes, if you haven't generated SSH keypair on your computer and haven't
added the public key to your GitLab account.

Yes. That's a correct syntax.

Currently, GitLab provides 3 main options to download the source code

1) git clone <ssh_url>
The one which you tried. This needs you public key to be added to you
GitLab account.

2) git clone <https_url>
This is the recommended method to clone the repo.
For wget2 the command will be:
$ git clone https://gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget2.git

3) compressed archive downloads
Apparently this is only available when you are logged in to GitLab.
Weird! Didn't know that!
