Hi There
I'm still new to github and heroku and I'm trying to access a heroku git repository from the sourcetree windows client.
I managed to connect to a public github repository just fine, and I have installed heroku toolbelt and authenticated myself successfully, but I can't figure out the format of the url to put in source path/url.
It would come out of this: git@heroku.com:greengrade.git, how do I convert that into a valid url? I have tried many many variants thus far :)
Even though I'm using an SSH key, the only way I managed to clone the git repository was to use https://git.heroku.com/project_name.git, which in your case is https://git.heroku.com/greengrade.git. I'm not sure if it made a difference, but I gave up trying to use SourceTree and did the clone initially using the Heroku Toolbelt, but afterward I knew the URL, doing the initial clone through SourceTree also worked.
git@heroku.com:greengrade.git should be a valid URL, but since it's an SSH URL then it will be dependent on you having your SSH key configured correctly. I normally use Pageant for this (the SSH agent that holds your keys in PuTTY format) but you can also use OpenSSH too if you want, the settings are in Tools > Options. You can also launch Pageant from the Tools > Launch SSH Menu option in SourceTree, and also generate or import keys using the Tools > Create or Import SSH Keys menu.
FYI when SourceTree says something is an invalid URL you can normally get more information by clicking the 'Details' button. I'm assuming that it's an authentication error right now.
