I keep getting a "Host Key Verification Failed" error when trying to push changes to a git controlled folder/project to Gitlab. For whatever reason, it works fine using Visual Studio for Mac, and I can login to my Gitlab account just fine via web browser.

I found that my home profile was loading as "P:\" in git bash (because of my work's IT team...).
Ensure that in git bash you have generated an ssh key using ssh-keygen and that GitLab knows about the key.
If you still have the issue, run ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no <gitlab-host> uptime to make gitlab trusted.
In Windows, I was receiving this error from Git on MS Visual Studio Code.
I had to launch it from Git Bash to pull in my git and ssh environment configuration.
<your git bash prompt> $ Code
VS Code should Launch, and you should be able to clone a repo via ssh then.
