Continuing the discussion from [Error executing command "./launcher rebuild app"](https://meta.discourse.org/t/error-executing-command-launcher-rebuild-app/199017):
Seeing a topic I created a little over a year ago
I realize that the problem I had at that time could have been easily solved, however nobody noticed it, if you look at the original post the app.yml file has a small error and it is that one of the plugins does not have at the end the “.git” and this apparently was all the problem I had, I share this because although it seems simple, it could be happening to many at the time I “solved” it by uploading another “app.yml” file that was not “corrupt” , but apparently it simply did not have the line that was added to the last plugin, therefore it worked without problems, at the time it seemed strange to me that a text editor like sublime text corrupted the file, taking into account that it is the one that always use to edit server files had never had any problems.
```plaintext
## Plugins go here
## see https://meta.discourse.org/t/19157 for details
hooks:
after_code:
- exec:
cd: $home/plugins
cmd:
- git clone https://github.com/discourse/docker_manager.git
- git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-voting
```
In short, I share it only as an anecdote and probably this can solve the problems of some.
And has something similar ever happened to you? That a “blunder” error has been caused by something as simple as the lack of a point or a parenthesis, etc.

I’m sad to say that was not the error. Rebuilds work fine without including the `.git` at the end of the repository link.
Looking at the old topic it was likely to be an invalid character as was suggested at the time. Though deleting it and creating a new one seemed to sort that out for you without needing to track it down precisely. 🎉👍

Yep is sad 🥲.
But, it’s good to know that it works without the “.git” at the end, I’ll see if by chance I still have the aforementioned file to review it thoroughly. Although I doubt it, the only thing I have is the file published in the forum, so it is most likely that it was corrupt, in the end I will see if I can reproduce said error in a test server.

From a quick read, my best guess is that you had tabs in your YML when you tried to add the plugin. I find it safest to copy/paste the `docker_manager` line and then edit the URL on the pasted one.
