Git pull/push is hanging in 1.25.0 (fixed in 1.25 nightly and will be released as 1.25.1)

Description

If there is a configuration warning, it gets somehow inserted to gitea serv <key-id> call (which is called with git over ssh access) and thus prevents any git over ssh command to work (clone, fetch, push)

Can you reproduce the bug on the Gitea demo site?

DEFAULT_INTERVAL = 1h
MIN_INTERVAL = 2h

• git over ssh stops working

Opps, I am having the same issue. Pulls and pushes just stall forever, no warning is issued.

I manually run /usr/local/bin/gitea --config=/etc/gitea/app.ini serv key-1 on git user and I found out the warning:

2025/10/30 20:57:18 modules/setting/server.go:262:loadServerFrom() [W] unix PROTOCOL value is deprecated, please use http+unix
Hi there, buraktamturk! You've successfully authenticated with the key named [redacted], but Gitea does not provide shell access.
If this is unexpected, please log in with password and setup Gitea under another user.

After fixing this pulls and pushes work correctly.

I too have been trying to understand this issue today! Great find. Hopefully an easy fix :)

Thank you very much. I see the problem now, the fix: Fix cli "Before" handling #35797

Sorry for the inconvenience
