What is the issue?

I created a new group in GitLab called kubefirst-test I didn't notice that the URL path of my created group was kubefirst-test2 even though the name of the group was kubefirst-test.

When running the cluster create command kubefirst k3d create --git-provider gitlab --gitlab-group kubefirst-test --cluster-name kubefirst I received the following error:

The issue appears to be that group names are global in GitLab and if you create a group that collides with an existing group GitLab changes it behind the scenes to be unique. The displayed name will still be what you entered though.

The code in https://github.com/kubefirst/runtime/blob/main/pkg/gitlab/gitlab.go#L46 is pulling the FullPath key for the group which could differ from FullName, which is what the user would have entered for the group name in the create command.

Executing kubefirst k3d create --git-provider gitlab --gitlab-group kubefirst-test2 --cluster-name kubefirst will result in the cluster being created successfully.

Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention @mathamoz . I'll have the engineering team give a closer look at this.
