In git-sensor pod. Have to do a trick to create a SSH config with custom port:

Host xyz.com
  Port 23xx

And test my private key:

/tmp $ git clone [email protected]:23xx/minhbui/adtech-ai-bot.git
Cloning into 'adtech-ai-bot'...
Welcome to AXX Gitlab
remote:
remote: ========================================================================

remote: The project you were looking for could not be found or you don't have permission to view it.
remote:
remote: ========================================================================
remote:
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

---> This is the error that appear on Devtron UI
When I test directly on git-sensor with bellow command. It works

cp /git-base/ssh-keys/2/ssh_pvt_key ~/.ssh/id_rsa
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa
/tmp $ git clone ssh://[email protected]:23xx/minhbui/adtech-ai-bot.git
Cloning into 'adtech-ai-bot'...

Why can't Devtron handle it?

I have the same problem. Why doen't Devtron support a private Git server with a custom port. Do not see anywhere in the document page

Hey @syskiller86 @tommy04062019 I wouldn't say its a bug as we never implemented the same. Let me see how we can handle this enhancement in our future releases. If its kind of blocking for you in trying out devtron, please do let me know such that I can adjust its priority accordingly

@abhibhaw : Hey, I think a lot of companies are going to switch their SSH port on their private repo servers for security reasons, just like we are. Right now, I can't test out Devtron in my setup because of this.
