This is regarding 2.0.0-beta.84

When adding an HTTP (Basic) git repo as a storage backend, the helper text tells the user to enter it in the format: https://github.com/org/repo.git

However, in the backend code, it does the following:

await this.git.addRemote('origin', `https://${this.config.basicUsername}:${this.config.basicPassword}@${this.config.repoUrl}`)

Which means, it would try to add the following repo and fail: https://user:password@https://github.com/org/repo.git

Maybe edit that to make it clear to add the URL without the protocol (https).

I just had this issue, fortunately it was easy to figure out, but others may not be so quick to find where the issue lay in the future.

See Screenshot:
