Command Overview

GITSYNC_MAX_REF_UPDATES_PER_PUSH=5000 go run ./cmd/git-sync replicate --all-refs --stats --verbose

• Repository URL: https://github.com/entireio/large-ref-test.git
• Target URL: entire://aws-us-east-2.entire.io/et/soph-test/soph-test-large-ref

Error Message

error: replicate: replicate: list target refs: request info refs: request info-refs: Get "entire://aws-us-east-2.entire.io/et/soph-test/soph-test-large-ref/info/refs?service=git-receive-pack": round trip: unsupported protocol scheme "entire"
exit status 1

Understanding entire:// Scheme

The entire:// scheme is not recognized by git-sync. It primarily supports:

• https://
• http://
• ssh://
• git+ssh://
• file://

If you attempt to use entire://, it gets passed to Go's HTTP transport, which results in the unsupported protocol error.

Authentication Details

Authentication works by leveraging the Entire DB credential lookup based on the host. It reads from ~/.config/entire/hosts.json and utilizes the keyring for an active user. If you have previously logged in using the Entire CLI for that host, it should authenticate automatically. If you haven't, you need to log in first or provide the token using --target-token or --target-bearer-token.

Integration with git-sync

• You can replicate with the https:// URL instead of entire://, as shown below:

GITSYNC_MAX_REF_UPDATES_PER_PUSH=5000 go run ./cmd/git-sync replicate --all-refs --stats --verbose \
    https://github.com/entireio/large-ref-test.git \
    https://aws-us-east-2.entire.io/et/soph-test/soph-test-large-ref

This allows for proper authentication using the built-in Entire DB token lookup, making it easier to manage your credentials within Git.

Conclusion

The entire:// URL scheme facilitates certain CLI commands but is not supported by git-sync. Always opt for HTTPS URLs to ensure compatibility and a seamless experience with authentication.
