Actually, you are right. I misrembered some details. The scp-like syntax is indeed supported because it is required for reading remote repository information from git's config file format. As a side effect, such URLs also work on the command line. This is not documented in the got(1) man page, however. I believe I did not want to document this intentionally, because having an explicit protocol scheme in the URL is better. $ got clone -l git@github.com:tbullock/OpenBSD-src.git Connecting to git@github.com Host key fingerprint is SHA256:nThbg6kXUpJWGl7E1IGOCspRomTxdCARLviKw6E5SY8 HEAD: refs/heads/master refs/heads/master: be5ef64b1271055108e479f13d1a2405f04d0cf0 $ > > -current does not. > > Actually testing that also doesn't work right either: > > $ got clone -l ssh://git@github.com/tbullock/OpenBSD-src.git > Connecting to git@github.com > got: got_opentempfd: No such file or directory That suggests a different issue. It looks like the hard-coded temporary directory path (default is "/tmp") cannot be found, perhaps? Is this a self-compiled binary, or was it installed from packages? My test above was with got compiled from commit 9b4603c029086 (main) on OpenBSD -current.
