how to set http as the project default url in gitlab

Question

when opening a project in gitlab, you will see SSH and HTTP(or HTTPS) url on the top of project home page, the SSH url is as default, but I want to set HTTP(or HTTPS) as default, so how should I do? Thanks

Answer 1

infact, you have to modify 2 other lines above the default_clone_protocol.

def default_url_to_repo(project = nil)
  project = project || @project
  current_user ? project.http_url_to_repo : project.url_to_repo
end

def default_clone_protocol
  current_user ? "http" : "ssh"
end

Answer 2

The app/views/shared/_clone_panel.html.haml file does show:

.git-clone-holder.input-group
  .input-group-btn
    %button{class: "btn #{ 'active' if default_clone_protocol == 'ssh' }", :"data-clone" => project.ssh_url_to_repo} SSH
    %button{class: "btn #{ 'active' if default_clone_protocol == 'http' }", :"data-clone" => project.http_url_to_repo}= gitlab_config.protocol.upcase

And that default_clone_protocol is defined in app/helpers/projects_helper.rb

def default_clone_protocol
    current_user ? "ssh" : "http"
end

So you could change that code, or add a setting in config/gitlab.yml.example in order to make it a parameter.

As mentioned by Mosi Wang's answer, the function default_url_to_repo also plays a role in the definition of that order, since it returns project.url_to_repo : project.http_url_to_repo.
Reversing the order can help too.
