It looks to be this in the field code:

class="control-group control-wrapper-username hidden"

Remove hidden, and the field appears.

Thanks for raising this! Just to clarify what’s happening:

When you select GitHub as the repository type, we automatically set the base URL behind the scenes to github.com. Because this is done automatically, the URL field is hidden by default. The default value shown in the list view (git.vdm.dev) might cause confusion, but it won’t break anything—if GitHub is properly configured, everything should just work.

That said, we understand this can be a bit annoying. What we do for easier readability and sorting is:

First select Gitea to reveal the URL field.
Manually set the URL to https://github.com.
Then re-select GitHub as the repository type.

This way, the URL field in the list view, reflects the what you expect to see (github.com).

For custom setups—like Gitea instances such as Cobeberg, Gitea, etc.—you should select Gitea so you can manually input your desired base URL.

In short:

Selecting GitHub auto-sets the URL to github.com and hides the field.
Selecting Gitea lets you manually input a custom URL.
Regardless of what you input, if GitHub is selected, we fix the URL behind the scenes to make sure it works.

We’re considering improving this experience, possibly with some JavaScript tweaks or conditional logic to reduce the confusion. Contributions are welcome! For now, we all know it works.

Hope this clears things up!

Thanks for raising this! Just to clarify what’s happening: When you select **GitHub** as the repository type, we **automatically set the base URL** behind the scenes to `github.com`. Because this is done automatically, the URL field is **hidden by default**. The default value shown in the list view (`git.vdm.dev`) might cause confusion, but it won’t break anything—if GitHub is properly configured, everything should just work.

For custom setups—like Gitea instances such as Cobeberg, Gitea, etc.—you *should* select **Gitea** so you can manually input your desired base URL.
