GitLab CE clone project by web GUI: fatal: unable

Question

I use GitLab CE. I init a new repo by import URL:

https://username:[e-mail]/group/project.git

In my password have a special character @. Then error:

Cloning into bare repository '/var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories/vydn/myzip.git'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://username:p@[e-mail]/group/project.git': Couldn't resolve host '[e-mail]/group/project.git'

How to use password has character @ in this context?

Answer 1

As mentioned in GitLab CE issue 7986

As per RFC 3986, @ is a special character and needs to be encoded like this:

https://xxxx:[e-mail]/hello/
                 ^^^
                  |_ instead of '@'

Answer 2

• Send username & password separately

  https://github.com/foobar/SparkDataSystem --username <user> --password <pass>
  

• Or, you can save your username & password to reduce the number of time you must type your username/password

  $ git config credential.helper store
  $ git push http://example.com/repo.git
  Username: <type your username>
  Password: <type your password>
  
  [several days later]
  $ git push http://example.com/repo.git
  [your credentials are used automatically]
