<p>Hi Eric,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>usually, git repositories are loaded from Metacello using a snippet like this:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p></p>
<div>Metacello new</div>
<div><span style="white-space:pre"></span>baseline: 'SqueakInboxTalk';</div>
<div><span style="white-space:pre"></span>repository: 'github://hpi-swa-lab/squeak-inbox-talk:main';</div>
<div><span style="white-space:pre"></span>load.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
Note that the repository does not contain a URL in the HTTP scheme but a special protocol that must be supported by Metacello. The part after the last colon indicates the branch name to use. These protocols are maintained in MetacelloPlatform >> #<span>extractTypeFromDescription:,
and apparently, GitLab is not yet supported. I think that you would either need clone/download your repository manually (e.g. via OSProcess) and then use the filetree:// resp. tonel:// protocol to locate the cloned folder on your disk, or you could add support
for GitLab to Metacello yourself. In theory, this should not be too complicated; for example, Bitbucket support comes with no more than a dozen of selectors that need to be overridden. I'm sure Dale Henrich would be glad about your pull request!</span>
<p></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span>Apart from that, if your repository is not publicly accessible, you will need to authenticate yourself which can be done by passing #username: and #password: (the latter usually being a token) to the Metacello instance.</span></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span>At a first glance, your baseline looks fine to me.</span></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span>Hope this helps,</span></p>
<p><span>Christoph</span></p>

<div>Hi All,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm trying to load a Git project I have that is hosted on a private GitLab host and am running into some trouble.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When I try the following in a Workspace:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>```</div>
<div>Metacello new<br>
repository: '<a href="https://source.mnt.re/darth-cheney/squeak-reform-tools.git/">https://source.mnt.re/darth-cheney/squeak-reform-tools.git/</a>';<br>
baseline: 'Reform';<br>
load.</div>
<div>```<br>
</div>
<div>I am getting inscrutable Metacello errors. I have tried to step through and debug what's going on but this part of things is inscrutable to me (I can't even find where the remote request is being made).</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div>Unless I have really messed this up, I think that my Baseline is configured correctly:
<a href="https://source.mnt.re/darth-cheney/squeak-reform-tools/-/blob/main/BaselineOfReform.package/BaselineOfReform.class/instance/baseline..st">
https://source.mnt.re/darth-cheney/squeak-reform-tools/-/blob/main/BaselineOfReform.package/BaselineOfReform.class/instance/baseline..st</a></div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div>One issue that might be tripping this up is that this particular GitLab server uses `main` instead of `master`. I don't have any other branches in the repository, however. Should I have to manually specify the main branch when loading, and, if so, how
do I go about doing that?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for any hints,<br>
</div>
