Can someone give me a quick walkthrough on simply cloning a repo with SourceTree?

Answer 1

Please check the error details. If the problem is "Invalid username or password. If you log in via a third party service you must ensure you have an account password set in your account profile.", it means you entered wrong password probably. If you use Mac, delete the saved password from KeyChain Access and then try again.

Answer 2

For me the issue was it wouldn't accept my password. The fix was in Preferences > Network > edit the default entry to set my github username rather than my Mac username.

Answer 3

I am on a Mac. No solution from these answers worked for me, but I figured out in the end by going in Accounts an switching Bitbucket from SSH to HTTPS. I was able to clone the repo.

Answer 4

I had that problem after installing new SourceTree version.

In my case it helped to uninstall Git from my Programs. When I started SourceTree again it asked to install Git, so I did and the problem was fixed.

Kinda brutal solution, but didn't want to spend more time trying to figure out the problem.

Answer 5

If you use 2-step authentication, give a token and not the regular password (that solved it for me on MAC with SourceTree 2.4), It can be done in SourceTree > Preferences > Accounts.

Answer 6

If you've maybe accidentally entered an incorrect password for this repository's domain before, you may be getting this error because of that. I had to go on the preferences panel, under the Network tab and delete the row that contained that URL's domain, and it prompted me again for it next time I tried to download the repo. Annoying that it doesn't ask you for the password ever again.
