I am in a disconnected environment and am hosting the bazel-central-registry in a gitlab repo. I am trying to specify the registry in my .bazelrc file. I can get it to work with a local file system path:

build --registry=file:///D:/repos/bazel-central-registry

But when I use the gitlab repo as the registry I get errors that bazel can't parse metadata.json. Is this the correct way to reference the gitlab repo? Examples I have seen use raw url on github, but I haven't found an example using gitlab repo...

build --registry=/my_group/bazel-central-registry/-/tree/dev
