title: Local Git repository url in Visual Studio error: Unsupported URL protocol
body: <p>I configured my own git server on my raspberry pi using this tutorial: <a href="https://www.sitepoint.com/setting-up-your-raspberry-pi-as-a-git-server/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.sitepoint.com/setting-up-your-raspberry-pi-as-a-git-server/</a></p>
  
  <p>This worked fine and I continued by downloading git for windows: <a href="https://git-for-windows.github.io/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://git-for-windows.github.io/</a></p>
  
  <p>I connected to my local git repository with an url like this: git@192.168.xxx.xxx:/home/git/Hello-World.git</p>
  
  <p>I was able to commit and push changes to my raspberry. Therefore I wanted to try that in my Visual Studio Community 2015. I added the folder where the git-for-windows GUI placed the cloned repository and was able to change files and commit them. But Visual Studio told me that I need to sync the changes to the remote repository. That seemed right to me. I clicked on Sync and then Publish (Push is disabled). That didn't work and an error told me that the URL protocol is unsupported.</p>
  
  <p>"Error encountered while publishing branch to the remote repository: Unsupported URL protocol"</p>
  
  <p>I don't know what is wrong with this URL because it is working in the git-gui.
  Is there a quick fix for it? Did I miss something?</p>
