Error message

secret not found in keyring

What it means

ParseURL accepts only http and https URLs; any other scheme (ssh://, git://, file://, or scheme-less text) is rejected with this message. The check runs after net/url parsing succeeds, so the value is a parseable URL, just not a web one.

Solutions

1. Use the HTTPS form: https://github.com/OWNER/REPO/pull/NUMBER.
2. Normalize SSH URLs before passing: strip 'git@' and convert 'owner/repo.git' path style to https.
3. Prefer plain PR numbers or OWNER/REPO#N references, which the finder also supports.

Example fix

# before
gh pr view "git@github.com:acme/widgets/pull/123"  # invalid scheme

# after
gh pr view "https://github.com/acme/widgets/pull/123"

func isHTTPS(urlStr string) bool {
    u, err := url.Parse(urlStr)
    return err == nil && (u.Scheme == "https" || u.Scheme == "http")
}

When it happens

Trigger: Passing 'git@github.com:owner/repo/pull/123' (SSH syntax) or 'github.com/owner/repo/pull/123' (no scheme) where a PR URL is expected; also ssh://git@github.com/... forms.

Common situations: Users copying the SSH remote URL and appending /pull/N; scripts converting remote URLs to PR links incorrectly; paste from `git remote get-url origin` (SSH form) instead of the browser bar.
