Hi,
in gerrit-review.googlesource.com only git operations over HTTPS are enabled.
Accordingly, when browsing a repo using the Gitiles plugin, for example [1], the url suggested for the clone command is over HTTPS only.

Is there any Gitiles or Gerrit setting to achieve it?

It seems like a vanilla Gerrit installation by default displays a git clone over SSH in the Gitiles homepage of the project. 

I tried playing with the Gitiles setting in the URL section [2] but was unsuccessful.

Do you know how to achieve the same behaviour as gerrit-review.googlesource.com?

Thanks,
Ponch

Did you remove download.scheme = ssh from gerrit.config ?
Did you disable sshd by setting sshd.listenAdress = off ?

Yes

I can't disable this in my case, however, digging further in the code I found this undocumented setting: gerrit.cloneUrlType

Adding the following in my configuration did the trick:

> cat etc/gitiles.config
[gerrit]
  cloneUrlType = http

I will amend the documentation accordingly.

Thanks .
Ponch

Thanks for the tip Fabio! I also wanted to show HTTP URLs instead of SSH ones because for anonymous users HTTP URLs are better than SSH ones (the first one allows everyone to clone the repository without authenticating).
 
I will amend the documentation accordingly.

As for the documentation, I see it's already documented in the plugins/gitiles repo: https://gerrit.googlesource.com/plugins/gitiles/+/12e26b3/src/main/resources/+Documentation/config.md. 

Thanks .
Ponch 

Cheers :-)
