Hi,

Just a minor issue here in the theme component view:

Let’s say the forum URL is `https://meta.discourse.org` and your private GIT repository `git@github.com:user/project.git`.

If you import a theme component from a private GIT repository, the source link will be: `https://meta.discourse.org/admin/customize/themes/git@github.com:user/project.git`

Thanks for reporting! We should make links for private repositories simply display on screen, rather than navigating anywhere.

We still should have some sort of way to figure out where the repo is at

For non-http(s) repositories, we now show the address rather than linking to it
