Not an issue

My bad, respectively please add to installation description properly instruction, how to configure gitmirror client in gitlab.

Reading this https://python-gitlab.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cli.html#examples and this https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/profile/personal_access_tokens.html i found, that ssh key is not enough and after private_token creating works like a charm.

Hi @janblaha would you mind opening a pull request for documentation to the develop branch? I myself do not use GitLab and use it for personal git repository backups to a drive.

So if you don't mind, documenting the extra steps and noting what version of GitLab the steps apply I think would be helpful for others.
