[Dune-devel] Is it intentional that user forks are private?

[Ospina De Los Rios, Santiago]

Hi Markus,


GitLab manages permissions by projects, groups or roles within a project. Your core developer credentials are only valid to the core group and private forks (like this one) are private even for the owners of the original repository. The solution would be that Andreas gives you access by either making the repository public or internal, by adding you as a Developer (or higher permission level) of his repository, or by giving you an access token. All of the options need some action by the owner of the (private) repository.


I am not aware of any change regarding this policy and I am not even sure if I could change those policies.


Cheers,

Santiago

Even doing that is not possible with my core developer credentials:

git fetch "ssh://git@gitlab.dune-project.org:22022/andreas.thune/dune-common.git" 'deterministic-indicesSyncer'
git checkout -b 'dune-common-deterministic-indicesSyncer' FETCH_HEAD

Bitte stellen Sie sicher, dass die korrekten Zugriffsberechtigungen bestehen
und das Repository existiert.
fatal: 'FETCH_HEAD' ist kein Commit und es kann kein Branch 'dune-common-deterministic-indicesSyncer' aus diesem erstellt werden.

The same holds if I use my usual approach:

$ git remote add andreast ssh://git@gitlab.dune-project.org:22022/andreas.thune/dune-common.git
$ git fetch andreast
X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0

Stupid as I am, I might be doing some very stupid mistake here, though.

Best,

Markus
