Hello,
I needed to install imhex on Tumbleweed.
Since the package is not available with zypper I have downloaded from here
https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Amnhauke&package=ImHex

All went ok and I can use the program now.

But, when running zypper refresh or anything else with zypper, I get the following

Repository 'home:mnhauke' is invalid.
[https-download.opensuse.org-e914f7f8|https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/mnhauke/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/] Valid metadata not found at specified URL

Nothing blocking, just annoying (I like clean environment).

Does anyone know how to make it working ok?

Kind thanks for all who will try to help.

@mark07 Hi, use the editors repository? https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/editors/ImHex

Just to add a note - this is an issue with using home: repositories as an installation source - they’re not official by any means, and may be something that someone was just playing with. They should not be used unless it’s your own or you know the person is going to continue to maintain it.
