Git Clone - Repository not found

Question

git clone 

gives the message fatal: repository \'url\' not found

I tried the options in the link, but it didn\'t work.

Answer 1

open Credential Manager -> look for your GIT devops profile -> click on it -> edit -> add user and password generated in DevOps and save.

Answer 2

if your git repo is private, try this

git clone https://<USERNAME>:<PASSWORD>@github.com/<USERNAME>/<REPO_NAME>.git

else use this

git clone https://github.com/<USERNAME>/<REPO_NAME>.git

Answer 3

For me it worked by removing the credential.helper config and cloning the repository again

git config --global --unset credential.helper
git clone https://<repository>

Answer 4

You may need to create an empty file named git-daemon-export-ok within the repository directory.

Answer 5

git clone https://username@github.com/User/Repository.git will prompt for a password then clone.

Answer 6

This issue started surfacing on my terminal after I enabled GitHub 2FA.

Now, I face this issue whenever I clone a private repository. This error:

remote: Repository not found.
fatal: repository 'https://github.com/kmario23/repo-name.git/' not found

is so awkward. Of course, I have this repo and I'm the owner of it.

Anyway, it seems the fix is now that we have to enter the GitHub username one more time when cloning a private repo. Below is an example:

                             add your username
                                |-------|
$ git clone --recursive https://kmario23@github.com/kmario23/repo-name.git
