While using bitbake after configuring , bitbake failed before trying to clone/access a private repository using an SSH link .
$ bitbake linux-imx
git -c core.fsyncobjectfiles=0 ls-remote ssh://git@gitlab.com:~/some-project/some-repo.git

When i try to remove the ~/ from the URL i get a similar error .

I even tried modifying the URL to https: , on which it gave me another error
git -c core.fsyncobjectfiles=0 ls-remote http://gitlab.com/some-project/some-repo.git

When i tried the same in the terminal instead of bitbake , It succeeded with the desired output
git -c core.fsyncobjectfiles=0 ls-remote git@gitlab.com:some-project/some-repo.git
I am using Ubuntu 16.04 . I know that Yocto build is not tested in Ubuntu 16.04 .
WARNING: Host distribution "Ubuntu-16.04" has not been validated with this version of the build system; you may possibly experience unexpected failures. It is recommended that you use a tested distribution.
But a previous build with public repositories succeeded . So is there a way to make this work ?
Try using:
git://git@gitlab.com/some-project/some-repo.git;protocol=ssh;branch=${SRCBRANCH}
in your SRC_URI.
Note the removal of :~.
