fetching grammars fails

[matthias-wright]

During installation (building from source on Linux Mint 21.2), I ran into this error.
Installation succeeded with the flag HELIX_DISABLE_AUTO_GRAMMAR_BUILD=1, but when I try to fetch the grammars afterwards with hx --grammar fetch, I get the same error again.
Looks like it tries to fetch the grammars from a repo without read access.
My git version is 2.49.0.

Anyone else run into this?

Error: 5 grammars failed to fetch

Fetching grammars is ultimately a git clone of each tree-sitter-<lang> repo. GitLab could be having an outage or you might have issues connecting - all of the failed grammars are hosted on GitLab. These failures are almost certainly transient

My 2 cents here, and it's unlikely to be the reason for every failure.

So, I noticed this issue for a little while and thought it was transient as well. But then I remembered that git has a way to change the repo url.

In particular I created an account on gitlab sometime ago, and added this to my git config:

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

Which looks like this in the $HOME/.gitconfig.

[url "git@gitlab.com:"]
       insteadOf = https://gitlab.com/

And commenting these lines solved the issue. So it meant something was off with my SSH setup :

1. Need to check that may SSH public key was set-up and correct on gitlab's user settings: https://gitlab.com/-/user_settings/ssh_keys

   It add the correct key.

2. So it's something local. And indeed I have multiple keys, due to different environment (think hosts). Indeed it was missing something like this :

   Host gitlab.com
     HostName gitlab.com
     User git
     IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_gitlab

Which fixed this. I don't use gitlab very often and forgot about some of these old configurations.
