Question

Gitkraken malformed url on pull

Gitkraken creates a malformed url when doing a pull edits to remote urls by adding a username and also appends ".git" to the end of the url making it malformed. Our remote repository urls don't have a ".git" on the end.

Example (no username or .git on the url for our Azure DevOps repos):

git remote -v
origin ssh://example.company.net/CollectionName/AppName/_git/repository.name (fetch)
origin ssh://example.company.net/CollectionName/AppName/_git/repository.name (push)

The moment any developer does a pull in Gitkraken it then asks for a username with a "Submit" button. Once that is done on the first one it says successful. Then after that, the next pull gives the error:

Pull Failed
malformed URL

If we look at the remote list again. Now it has been edited and adds a username and ".git" to the end making it invalid

git remote -v
origin ssh://username@example.company.net/CollectionName/AppName/_git/repository.name.git (fetch)
origin ssh://username@example.company.net/CollectionName/AppName/_git/repository.name.git (push)

Answer 1

If this behaviour is not configurable (and should be reported to GitKraken support), you might consider, as a temporary workaround, adding symlinks to your remote repositories

On the remote side:

cd CollectionName/AppName/_git/
ln -s repository.name repository.name.git

That would help you keep using GitKraken while accessing your remote repositories.
