I am trying to copy a github repository into my "documents" folder on my macbook pro but have continually received the error message below. I am brand new to github and am using it for the odin project. Any tips or tricks to work through this obstacle? Thank you.
Collins-MacBook-Pro:~ collinremmers$ cd documents
Cj-MacBook-Pro:documents cj01$ git clone git#github.com:cjremm01/git_test.git
Cloning into 'git_test'...
/Users/cj01/.ssh/config: line 3: Bad configuration option: identifyfile
/Users/cj01/.ssh/config: terminating, 1 bad configuration options
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
Try to clone it with the URL and not via SSH
git clone https://github.com/cjremm01/git_test

I'm using vagrant to clone my git repository. I deleted my repository from GitHub my git account. now trying to clone a repository couldn't error message is destination path already exist. how do I delete this already existing path and start afresh?
Similar to this answer, you can:
test if a folder exist (File.directory?(directory))
delete it, using FileUtils.rmdir(disks_directory) (as used in this Vagrant script)
I started a Static Web Project in Eclipse to share the project in a remote Git repository as a backup and to possibly share with others.
Created a git repository in the project's folder C:\workspace\projectname.
Committed (added/staged) everything in the C:\workspace\projectname including the .project file and everything in the C:\workspace\projectname\.settings directory as initial commit (because I thought I want to be able to clone the project again from the repository in the future).
Created a remote repository at rocketgit due to its simpler features and ToS.
After everything had been commited, I right clicked the project's repository in the Git Repository view in Eclipse, clicked Remote -> Push.
I entered https as protocol, rocketgit.com as host, users/username/repositoryname as repository path. Entered my username and password, clicked Next.
But a Problem Occurred dialog shows up, with detail `Transport Error:
Cannot get remote repository refs.
https://rocketgit.com/users/username/repositoryname: https://rocketgit.com/users/username/repositoryname/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack not found`.
How do I resolve this? What does this error mean? Can someone explain a solution. Thanks
users\username\repositoryname as repository path.
"users\username\repositoryname" looks like a path on your disk, not to a remote repo URL.
A proper URL would be https://yourServer/<user>/<reponame>, or ssh://git#yourServer/<user>/<reponame>.
I don't know which one RockertGit does support, but using GitHub, GitLab or BitBucket would work.
I have created a repository on Github. I am using Windows 7 64 bit and Pycharm Community edition. I want to integrate the Github repository with pycharm but I am getting the error
Couldn't get the list of GitHub repositories
Connect to api.github.com:443 [api.github.com/192.30.252.127] failed: connect timed out
Although I am able to clone he same repository from command prompt using git clone command.
I had the same issue.
Configure your proxy if using one:
File->Settings->System Settings->HTTP Proxy
Another thing to try is to clone the project locally then add as new project in Pycharm. Afterwards I was able to do all git operations under VCS->git including add/commit/push for my project.
try to check whether you have given the path to Git executable correctly by testing it using test button next to it...(file>settings>version control>Git>path to Git Executable)
make sure you have given the git client path correctly..
C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe
I've never used a VCS before and I'm attempting to set one up now.
I'm doing some Game Development with Unity3d. At first I googled how to set up VCS for Unity; and I found this: http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/BurkayOzdemir/20130303/187697/Using_Unity3D_with_external_VCS_Mercurial__Bitbucket_step_to_step_guide.php
I followed it until it came time to clone the repository from within the hgTortoise workbench. When I hit the clone button after copying and pasting the URL to my repo from the BitBucket.org website I received an error: "Repository Git clone https:://username#bitbucket.org/username/projectName.git not found code: 255" and I do understand what an HTTP 404 error is.
Anyone who has used the internet knows it means the page could not be found.
I created this repo as private; is that why it could not find my repo?
Then I proceeded to follow the instructions at BitBucket's "BitBucket 101" help page. I installed Git, had already created a BitBucket account and repo, and the instructions which followed.
I stopped at the point where the help page said to enter some command line things in to Git Shell. I'm running Windows 8.1 and searches have shown me that particular program doesn't exist on this PC.
Am I doing this correctly? What am I doing wrong? All I need is to set up a VCS.
Git and Mercurial are 2 different distributed version control packages. They both use a command line interface. TortoiseHG (the package referred to in the step-by-step you linked to) is a GUI extension that's only used for Mercurial. (HG is the chemical symbol for Mercury, get it?!)
Bitbucket is an online repository that can host either Git or Mercurial repositories.
It looks like you created your repository on Bitbucket as a Git repo and not a Mercurial repo. Just delete the repo on Bitbucket (make sure you have a good copy of your source code) and recreate it as a Mercurial repo. Then work with TortoiseHG as instructed in the step-by-step.
The fact that it's a private repo doesn't matter. That just means it will only be visible to you (vs. everyone) and will require a password to push and pull changes via https or ssh.
Well, first of all, it seems that the tutorial that you seem to be using is based on using Mercurial instead of Git.
If you're comfortable with diving into the command line, you can download TortoiseHG, which is a Windows shell extension: http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.io/
However, there's nothing wrong with using SourceTree as well, which is a GUI-based interface for dealing with both Git and Mercurial repositories: https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/
FYI, if you downloaded Git for Windows, it should've provided you with a terminal called Git Bash that you can use for Git commands.
I would like to configure my Mercurial project to be able to push it into gitHub repository.
While using command:
hg push git+ssh://git#github.com/myusername/myproject.git
I receive a msg:
abort: repository git+ssh://git#github.com/myusername/myproject.git
not found!
I already check and establish SSH connection, and it looks ok:
Hi myusername! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not
provide shell access.
my respository url copied from github (it's a fork from other open-source project): https://github.com/myusername/myproject.git
What else I should check? Why I have an information that it doesn't exist while, in fact, it does? Where can be a problem?
Thanks to rfkortekaas I found a problem with hg-git setup.
In ~/.hgrc there has to be:
[extensions]
hgext.bookmarks =
hggit =
Are you sure that you have enabled and setup the hg-git extension correctly. This error also appears if the extension is not correctly setup.
Can you try it with a local git repository to phase-out github as a possible error.
I'm not sure you can push in Git if you didn't clone your repository from a Git one before using hg-git. It seems me that hg-git manages a .git locally.
