"Unsupported git service" when trying to create a PR with custom SSH alias

[cybermarco5]

Describe the bug

I use multiple SSH keys in my setup (work, personal, etc.). I configured custom SSH aliases for each account to ensure my commits and access to repos/organizations. This means i need to clone my repos using git@github-work:XXX and git@github-personal:XXX instead of git@github.com:XXX. I can push/pull, create branches, tags, and everything works fine.

However, when I try to open a branch in my browser or open a PR, I get the famous "Unsupported git service". I tried setting

services:
  "github-work": "github.com"

in my config file but have had no luck :(

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Define multiple SSH profiles in you ~.config/ssh
2. Clone a repo using one of the aliases you created
3. Try opening a PR
4. See error

Expected behavior

Lazygit should resolve the local url using the ssh alias (since that is how Git works). Or at least provide a way to set it up to mirror its behaviour.

services:
"github-work": "github.com"

I have never used this feature myself, but from reading the docs it seems that you need

services:
  "github-work": "github:github.com"

Can you try if that works?

Personally I don't have this problem because I use "github.com-work" as my hostname alias, which is detected by lazygit (since it does a substring search for "github.com").

Lazygit should resolve the local url using the ssh alias (since that is how Git works).

This sounds like a good idea; one way to do that is described here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/59305908

I had the same problem. I tried using Claude to fix it for me, he was close but not quite.
What helped was creating config in correct folder based on docs and configuring it using @stefanhaller suggestion.
