Hello,
We want to use git archive in order to grab some files from a remote stored on (self-managed) gitlab. We want to use the https protocol for this in order to allow it to be used via CI using a CI job token. However, even in an interactive (non-CI) setting, it seems that https is not supported for git archive by gitlab:
git archive --remote=git@self.managed.gitlab:group/repo.git branch README.md | tar -x
# all good
git archive --remote=https://self.managed.gitlab/group/repo.git branch README.md | tar -x
fatal: Operation not supported by protocol.
Is there something I’m missing about using https with git archive? Or is this not supported?
Thanks,
Harry
