I’m running a Documenter.jl action on Github, and I’m getting this cryptic error. Does anyone know what it means?

`ERROR: LoadError: The repo path https://github.com/mpeters2/PsychoJL.jl.git should not contain the protocol`

Try to remove the protocol (`https://`).

Thanks, that worked!

On the other hand, code that is smart enough to detect that (e.g. “https://”) should be smart enough to work around it. I’ll post it as an issue on Documenter.jl’s github site.
