Provider-selected GitLab clones used the SSH URL, so a host with glab signed in over HTTPS and no SSH key for GitLab failed with a host key error and had no way to pick the protocol. GitLab now joins GitHub and Forgejo on the HTTPS URL, which the glab credential helper authenticates.

ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This changes the default transport for provider-selected GitLab clones from SSH to HTTPS, affecting existing clone behavior for GitLab users. The implementation is narrow and tested, but product-default changes require human review. You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more. |

📝 Walkthrough
Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to GitLab clones from the add-project flow now use HTTPS, so they can authenticate through the glab credential helper. The clone address is the project's web page URL, not GitLab's documented clone URL. This works in common cases but is worth switching to the documented clone URL as a follow-up.

The GitLab definition now setsdefaultCloneTransportto"https", and the focused test verifies the HTTPSweb_urlresult. The definition has no host orglabprotocol lookup, so it also selects HTTPS whengit_protocolisssh. The SSH configuration requirement remains unmet.

Fixes #13350.
Problem
A GitLab repository chosen through Add Project → Clone → GitLab is cloned over SSH. On a host where
glab auth loginwas done over HTTPS (its default) and no SSH key is registered with GitLab, the lookup succeeds but the clone fails withHost key verification failed, and there is no option in the UI to pick the protocol. #7760 fixed the same problem for GitHub and #11436 added Forgejo;getDefaultCloneUrlstill returnedsshUrlfor GitLab.Fix
GitLab's clone transport is now HTTPS. Update after merging main (2026-10-11): main moved the per-host choice into each source-control package (
defaultCloneTransporton the host definition), so the change now lives inpackages/source-control-gitlab/src/client/definition.tsinstead ofgetDefaultCloneUrlinpackages/client-runtime; the behavior is the same.glab auth logininstallscredential.https://gitlab.com.helper = !glab auth git-credential, so the HTTPS clone authenticates through the CLI the user has already signed in with, the same reasoning as for GitHub. Theurlthe GitLab lookup returns is the project'sweb_url(https://gitlab.com/group/project, no.git), which git clones fine, and the helper is scoped to the host, so it applies there too. Bitbucket and Azure DevOps keep their SSH default. Web and mobile both go through this helper, so both clients pick up the change; pasted URLs are untouched.Tests
projects.test.ts: GitLab is covered by the HTTPS case with theweb_urlshape the lookup produces, and the SSH-default case now uses Bitbucket. 17 tests pass; client-runtime typecheck and targeted lint are clean.Evidence
Observed in the web client on macOS 15.7.5 (Playwright, headless Chromium 1400×900) against isolated servers on fresh state, on
mainat 5cc99e1 and on this branch at 8776812. Steps on both builds: Add Project → Clone → GitLab, pick the public projectgitlab-examples/ci-debug-trace, choose an empty destination, Create & Clone.There is no
glabor GitLab account on this machine, so both servers were started with a stand-inglabfirst onPATHthat answers the version, auth and lookup invocations the server makes with that project's real metadata from GitLab's public API. Thegit cloneitself is real. To model a host with no SSH key registered with GitLab without touching~/.ssh, both servers ran withGIT_SSH_COMMANDset to use no identity.git clone --progress git@gitlab.com:gitlab-examples/ci-debug-trace.git dest-beforegit@gitlab.com: Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository.; destination emptygit clone --progress https://gitlab.com/gitlab-examples/ci-debug-trace dest-afteroriginis the HTTPS URL, checkout contains.gitlab-ci.ymlandREADME.mdThe clone step looks the same on both builds because it shows the repository's web URL, not the transport; the transport is in the command above. Not exercised: a signed-in
glaband its HTTPS credential helper on a private repository, and the desktop and mobile clients (they sharegetDefaultCloneUrl).Implemented with Claude Code (Claude Fable 5.1).
