Pkg trying to add private repository gives GitError(Code:ERROR, Class:Net, unrecognized URL prefix)

General Usage

I am trying to add a private gitlab repository and I am encountering the following issue:

(myEnv) pkg> add https://gitlab.com/me/private.git
    Cloning git-repo `https://gitlab.com/me/private.git`
ERROR: failed to clone from https://gitlab.com/me/private.git, error: GitError(Code:ERROR, Class:Net, unrecognized URL prefix)

when I do this my school’s cluster.

I am able to add this private package on my laptop, and

git clone https://gitlab.com/me/private.git

works fine on the cluster.

What does it mean "unrecognized URL prefix? I would like to add the remote repository, and not a local package, so I can use the same Manifest.toml file on my laptop and on the cluster. Any help is appreciated :slight_smile:
