    There's a lot of custom packages under https://gitlab.example.net/groups/example - I like to clone them all down to scan them every now and then.
First create an access token - https://gitlab.example.net/profile/personal_access_tokens .
Store it locally:
$ cat ~/.netrc 
machine gitlab.example.net
login youserbehere
password w0wTh1sIsmyr3alTokn1

Define a bash function to list out all repos (and ... test it's working):
curlrepos() {
    curl -s https://gitlab.example.net/api/v4/groups/example/projects?per_page=1000
}
extract_repo_paths() {
    php -r '$data = json_decode(stream_get_contents(STDIN), true); foreach ($data as $repo) { echo $repo["path"]."\n"; }'
}
getrepos() {
    curlrepos | extract_repo_paths
}

Clone 'em all!
getrepos | while read -r repo; do
    git clone "git@gitlab.example.net:/example/$repo"
done
