TYPO3: Replace `git@github.com:typo3/typo3` with `git://github.com/typo3/typo3` #162

Closed alexander-nitsche closed 3 years ago

alexander-nitsche commented 3 years ago

Currently there are three ways to reference the TYPO3 github repository:

and should be reduced to only two:

where the first should be used for all browsing links, e.g. linking to a specific file in the repository, and the latter should be used whenever the user is working with the git repository, e.g. for git clone.

Everywhere I look i always see git@xxx urls, like on stackoverflow and so on. Why is git://xxx.com the "better" way? Even when you want to clone a github repo and switch to ssh, the url looks like this: git@github.com:TYPO3-Documentation/T3DocTeam.git so I don't see the point why everyone should switch to a format that nobody uses. A big veto against it. :-1:

@simonschaufi See https://github.com/TYPO3-Documentation/T3DocTeam/issues/163 which replaces this one.

The original idea was that you could understand right away that git://github.com/typo3/typo3 is a Git clone URL whereas git@github.com:typo3/typo3 is not as clear. Also one could easily convert https://github.com/typo3/typo3 to git://github.com/typo3/typo3 by simply switching the scheme.

But as mentioned in the other issue there are problems with private Git repositories so we won't be following this approach anyways.

I'll close this one.
