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

问题

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

$ git clone https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2  mylibgit 

The resulting folder e.g mylibgit was found somewhere outside the XAMPP web folder (i.e htdocs), I moved it there but it's not working as supposed.

I moved it out to my desktop and got the error :

fatal: unable to access 'https://git@gitlab.com:xxxxx/yyyyyy/':Port number ended with 'y'

回答1:

For gitlab, you don't need to specify the user.
Replace it by an https url based on your GitLab account name.

cd /path/to/your/repo
git remote set-url origin https://gitlab.com/<username>/<yourProjectName.git>
git push -u origin master

Note:

trying to clone an already existing repository from gitla

This contradict "git clone https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2", since this is a GitHub url, not a GitLab one.

回答2:

Gitlab actually requires a user when using deploy tokens. For me, this was caused by mixing in ssh syntax as http://<user>:<pass>@gitlab.com:repo instead of gitlab.com/repo.

回答3:

I later found the problem, I was not typing cd /path/to/your/repo at the beginning.

I was actually typing gitlab instead of Github.

Thanks.
