nomad-pack add registry does not honer default main/master branch

[Thadir]

What I tried to do on nomad pack is add our own internal tempaltes. Trough the folwoing command:

nomad-pack registry add arval ssh://gitea@gitea.internal/nomad_pack_templates.git

The target repo I use had main as only branch. However i get the folowing error:

go-getter URL is ssh://gitea@gitea.internal/nomad_pack_templates.git?depth=1
! Could Not Install Registry
 
    Error:   error downloading 'ssh://gitea@ssh://gitea@gitea.internal/nomad_pack_templates.git?depth=1': /usr/bin/git exited with 128: Cloning into '/home/thadir/.cache/nomad/packs/nomad-pack-tmp'...

Work around is creating a master branch. But our default and only branch was main.

May I ask how you resolved it

Like i said created a master branch again and have that as well. its not a workaround perse but it makes it work.

@lm2497358068, @Thadir: You can avoid creating an additional branch by specifying the branch to target using the -ref flag.
Could you share some additional information that might help figure out how to reproduce this issue locally?

• OS version
• Computer architecture
• How did you install pack?
• Does it persist in v0.1.1?

[Thadir]

I am running them in containers as part of my pipline. But I would expect that pact will honer the main branch flag and not default to master.

This is my containerised version ill update it later this week to test with the new version v0.1.1:
