[FIXED] What does the warning "redirecting to" actually mean?

Issue

I have noticed that sometimes when I git pull a project, there is a message saying:

"warning: redirecting to <url>"

I tried searching what it means but I find nothing useful. What is it?

Solution

warning: redirecting to

This is typical of a Git repo URL starting with git:// or http://, but which is redirected at the server level to https:// (which is more secure, and allows for authentication)

This is set at the server level (as in this one) with a 301 Moved Permanently.

# enforce https
location / {
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
