Redirects silently failed to match when a leading/trailing space was present in the address (e.g. `to = " https://example.com"`), which is a common typo that is hard to spot. Trimming the values in the redirect normalizer resolves the issue while preserving the parsed rule shape. Fixes netlify#4707
When a site uses build plugins and the user runs without a build, config mutations made by those plugins are lost, which is confusing. This PR prints a clear warning naming the configured plugins and suggests . Fixes netlify#3792
…b and GitLab When the git remote origin uses an https URL (common for private repos cloned with credential helpers), the netlify init manual config prompt defaults to that https URL, which then fails the SSH protocol validation. This PR converts https:// URLs to their SSH equivalents (git@host:path.git) for GitHub and GitLab providers, so users get a working SSH default instead of a URL that triggers the validation error. Fixes netlify#4603

WalkthroughThe deploy command now warns when Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR is not merge-ready yet: authenticated HTTPS remotes can still bypass conversion and reach the SSH-only prompt, while the same changes can ignore an environment-provided JWT secret and suggest a non-production deploy command for production runs. These bounded correctness and configuration risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging. Possibly related PRs

Use an SSH-specific URL check before bypassing conversion.
SSH_URL_REGEXP matches the token@ part of https://token@github.com/user/repo.git. toSshUrl() then returns the HTTPS URL unchanged, and the prompt validator also accepts it. This defeats SSH default conversion for authenticated private-repository remotes.
Use an anchored SCP-style SSH pattern or parse the URL and check for ssh:. Add a test for an HTTPS URL with userinfo.

Summary
When the git remote origin uses an
https://URL (common for private repos cloned with credential helpers), thenetlify initmanual config prompt defaults to that https URL, which then fails the SSH protocol validation with "The URL provided does not use the SSH protocol".This PR converts
https://URLs to their SSH equivalents (git@host:path.git) for GitHub and GitLab providers, so users get a working SSH default instead of a URL that triggers the validation error.Changes
src/utils/init/config-manual.ts: AddedtoSshUrl()helper that converts https URLs to SSH format forgithubandgitlabproviders. The prompt default now uses this converted URL.tests/unit/utils/to-ssh-url.test.ts: Added 8 unit tests covering GitHub, GitLab, unknown providers, null providers, invalid URLs, and already-SSH URLs.Verification
