What's your suggestion here? I don't think this could work without user's SSH keys.

I though there is a solution using GitHub API, but that does not seem to be the case.

What about giving end-users few megs of storage assigned as custom homedir that could have these?

[svenefftinge]

Yes, that would be possible. The user home however is also configured by the docker build, so we'd need to make sure the suer specific things lie on top. We are close to a solution for that, but it is too early to commit to an actual date.

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

@svenefftinge is there a solution for this?
I want to be able to clone other projects into subdirectories in 1 workspace.

[shaal]

I would like to re-open this issue, and request that the label meta: never-stale be added to this issue

This solution worked for me:
Clone any additional repositories in a Gitpod workspace via HTTPS in order to push code.

temporary works solution for me:

git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://
git config --global url."https://github.com/".insteadOf ssh://git@github.com/

In addition to these, I also had to use the following:

git config --global url."https://github.com/".insteadOf git@github.com:

@ivansglazunov @Dids @shaal
Is there a way to do it automatically on workspace creation?
