Problem/Motivation

I went looking for the repository clone URL to make modifications to a module I maintain and noticed that I could not clone via SSH using the URL provided by GitLab.

GitLab is providing git@git.drupalcode.org:project/audiorecorder.git as the SSH clone URL whereas the SSH clone URL which works is git@git.drupal.org:project/audiorecorder.git.

The HTTPS clone URL provided by GitLab (https://git.drupalcode.org/project/audiorecorder.git) does work, but only for anonymous downloads.

Here's a screenshot showing the wrong SSH clone URL being displayed:

Steps to reproduce

  1. Go to the Gitlab space for a contrib project, e.g. audiorecorder
  2. Click on the "Clone" button
  3. Examine the "Clone with SSH" field and note that git.drupalcode.org is the hostname
  4. Try running git clone with that URL and receive SSH connection failures:
    $ git clone git@git.drupalcode.org:project/audiorecorder.git
Cloning into 'audiorecorder'...

ssh: connect to host git.drupalcode.org port 22: Operation timed out
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Proposed resolution

Configure GitLab to report the correct hostname for SSH clones.

This is an issue with GitLab itself: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/404496

I can confirm this issue and the suggested workaround. Changing the SSH URL I received from Gitlab from

git clone git@git.drupalcode.org:project/node_read_time.git .

to

git clone git@git.drupal.org:project/node_read_time.git .

finally allowed me to pull the repo locally. Hopefully the Gitlab issue can be resolved to avoid this.

Thanks

I have checkout and found git SSH ulr issue is fixed. So, I am moving it for RTBC.

Like: git@git.drupal.org:project/push_notifications.git
