Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
Occasionally, users will try to open a repository in Gitpod like so:
https://gitpod.io/#[email protected]:gitpod-io/gitpod.git
This always results in an error page:
Oh no! Something went wrong!
Couldn't parse context '[email protected]:gitpod-io/gitpod.git'
Describe the behaviour you'd like
However, it's pretty obvious what users actually want to achieve.
I think Gitpod should automatically translate [email protected]:gitpod-io/gitpod.git
to https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod.git
(or consider them equivalent) and successfully create a new workspace for that repository.
(Note: I assume that the majority of users will already have logged in with GitHub, and thus already have a GitHub token at hand, so there is little point in actually supporting SSH-based authentication here.)
Describe alternatives you've considered
- Continuing to show the
Couldn't parse context
error (🙄) - Implementing SSH-based authentication, or supporting any Git clone URL (value/effort ratio currently seems uninteresting)
