Yes, you can. The syntax is:

git clone https://username:[email protected]/user/repo.git

Where username is your Gitlab username and token is generated through your gitlab's settings > Access Tokens

Gitlab doesn't support cloning with http in one line. Maybe you can do it with ssh?

There are a few git services that do work with http cloning in one line. For example Github and Gitorious. I think that Gitlab only supports a username prefix. The password always will be asked. Which also brings in a huge security advantage because in this way, your password never is stored in the logfiles.
