ExtensionIndex : can the scmurl field point to anywhere?

Hi,

I wish to know if the scmurl field of the *.s4ext file in the ExtensionIndex must point to a github repository? Would an extension be built if it points elsewhere, to a gitlab repository for example?

Thank you.

Yes, gitlab should be fine as long as the scmurl points to something that can be cloned.
