I am trying to add my (private) GitHub repository using a SSH URL. The clone URL provided by GitHub is
ssh://[email protected]:krisi0903/infra.git
However, it seems like the colon separator is internally considered as part of the hostname, since I get the following error when trying to run a playbook:

and the repository exists.

Failed updating repository: exit status 128

If i replace the colon by a forward slash / , the issue seems to be gone:
