I am having an issue with github repo. I have forked the private repo and trying to clone it and it's not working.

"remote: Repository not found.
fatal: repository https://github.com/MYUSERNAME/MYREPO.git/' not found

Tried git clone https://github.com/username/repo
git clone https://github.com/username/repo.git
fatal: repository https://github.com/MYUSERNAME:PASSWORD/USERNAME/MYREPO.git/' not found

Without Quotes around it. Still getting errors. Any help?

  • Thanks all, I've set up SSH and it worked via SSH. Wonder what the issue was with HTTPS – DevBear15 Jan 10 '16 at 04:32
  • I'm just starting to use private repos (and Git/GitHub in general), does that mean HTTPS doesn't work with private repos and I have to use SSH? I think it's unlikely to be the case, but just wanted to check. I've used HTTPS with public repos and it's worked fine (and I'm ok with it) – Levon Jan 10 '16 at 12:08

You don't need quotes to clone.
But it will be better to use ssh instead since you will not be prompt for password for pull & push.
