title: How to troubleshoot a url error with "Port number ended with 'y'"?
body: <p>While trying to clone an already existing repository from gitlab into my local drive. I used the format</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ git clone https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2  mylibgit 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The resulting folder e.g <code>mylibgit</code> was found somewhere outside the XAMPP web folder (i.e htdocs), I moved it there but it's not working as supposed. </p>
  
  <p>I moved it out to my desktop and got the error :</p>
  
  <pre><code>fatal: unable to access 'https://git@gitlab.com:xxxxx/yyyyyy/':Port number ended with 'y'
  </code></pre>
