How do I overcome SQL Developer’s “cannot open git-upload-pack” error when I attempt to clone a Gitlab-hosted repository?

I am trying to use SQL Developer’s (version 21.4.1.349) Git capability, but am unable to clone a repository hosted within Gitlab. Using the “Team > Git > Clone” operation, I am supplying the following attributes:

  • repository URL = https://[path_to_gitlab/repo_name.git]
  • User Name = [username I can use to sign on to https://path_to_gitlab] Private Key
  • File = [path to private key generated via OpenSSH algorithm ed25519]

When I click the “Next >” button, SQL Developer replies:

Validation Failed

https://[path_to_gitlab/repo_name.git]: cannot open git-upload-pack
