Answer

A customer asked: > I'm encountering an error where the repo-copier fails to parse a destination URL: The example target is ``` gitlab https://domain.com/gitlab/project/repo ``` The failure is ``` ERROR: GET https://domain/api/v4/namespaces/gitlab/project/repo: 404 failed to parse unknown error format ```

The path should contain the full path to [a GitLab group](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/group/). GitLab group is a kind of GitHub organization. Please make sure you specify the exact group, not a repository or user. credit for this answer goes to @levkoburburas
