Git error: Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists

Question

I am using TortoiseGit on Windows. When I am trying to Clone from the context menu of the standard Windows Explorer, I get this error:

Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists

More precisely, the snapshot of the terminal is the following:

git.exe clone --progress -v "git@chandradev:\git\chandra.git" "C:\Work\Chandra"

Cloning into 'C:\Work\Chandra'...

Permission denied, please try again.

Permission denied, please try again.

Permission denied (publickey,password).

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights

and the repository exists.

What should I do to make git work properly?

Answer 1

There are 2 ways we could use in this case.

First thing you can change the url from git to https from remote and try to clone with that link.

git clone https://your-git@git/git  

or you can change the remote url using:

git remote set-url origin [email protected]
