Strange GIT remote url

git remote -vv

shows

origin  username@source:/var/git/repo.git (fetch)
origin  username@source:/var/git/repo.git (push)

What does it mean "source:" is it some kind of protocol?

One more thing it works without password but if use usual URL it requires password.

It works without password because it is an ssh url, and:

  • your private key (in ~/.ssh/id_rsa) is not passphrase protected (or it is and is still managed by the ssh-agent)
  • your public key (~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) is registered in the source server at ~username/.ssh/authorize_keys file.

if I use usual URL it requires password.

If you are talking about an http(s):// url, then yes, it would require a username and a password.
