René's URL Explorer Experiment

{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Remote URL cannot be accessed for git \u003c 2.7 if SSH isn't working","articleBody":"If the system git is \u003c 2.7, and the URL is one that git expects to use SSH access on, but SSH isn't working for any reason, then `self.repo.git.remote(\"show\", self.name)` [here](https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/blob/master/git/remote.py#L539) in remote.py will fail with: \r\n\r\n```python\r\nGitCommandError: Cmd('git') failed due to: exit code(128)\r\n  cmdline: git remote show origin\r\n  stderr: 'Permission denied (publickey).\r\nfatal: Could not read from remote repository.\r\n\r\nPlease make sure you have the correct access rights\r\nand the repository exists.'\r\n```\r\nor related errors if SSH is not installed or on the path.  \r\n\r\nThis can be fixed by falling back to `git config --get remote.%s.url' % self.name` which just reads the URL directly from the configuration.
