How to troubleshoot a url error with “Port number ended with 'y'”?

Question

While trying to clone an already existing repository from gitlab into my local drive. I used the format

Answer 1

I had similar problem. Just corrected(removed git@ and port number) URL in .git/config file and it worked.

[remote "origin"] url = https://git@gitlab.com:xxxxx/yyyyyy/

To

[remote "origin"] url = https://gitlab.com/yyyyyy/
