I executed fj pr checkout 1, expecting to have the forgejo CLI add a remote, fetch the relevant commits, and check out a new branch.
Instead of checking out the branch, an error message was displayed (redacted output provided):
[USER@HOST REPOSITORY_DIR]$ fj pr checkout 1
Error: the given reference name 'refs/heads/pr-git-ssh.h.wer.ee:2222-REDACTED-1' is not valid; class=Reference (4); code=InvalidSpec (-12)

[USER@HOST REPOSITORY_DIR]$
Clone a repository from a forgejo instance that has an SSH server on a non-22 port, then attempt to check out a PR over SSH.

I can reproduce this on my git server @ https://git.mzte.de. We can use that for testing.

Can you try setting the port in the git remote URL and tell us the result?

Is that not already the case It's failing because the : in the URL indicating the port isn't allowed in refspecs

I did not see the port in refs/heads/pr-git-ssh.h.wer.ee:2222-REDACTED-1. Interesting, that such a refspec gets created in the first place then.
@LordMZTE regular git operations work just fine with your server, right?

Yes, this is likely just a bug with how we determine the name of the new branch :D
