Can I troubleshoot the error message “Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists?”
I am currently setting up a version control system for a team project and during the process of attempting the establishment of a version control system I encountered an error message that said “Please make sure you have the correct access rights and repository exists”. How can I troubleshoot this particular error?
In the context of DevOps, if you are getting the error message “ please make sure you have the correct access rights and repository exists” then it refers to that there is an issue with the setting of permission or the repository URL used for cloning doesn’t exist there or not accessible. Here are the steps given for troubleshooting this particular issue:-
Checking Repository URL
First, ensure that your Repository URL which is used for cloning should be correct and accessible.
Verifying accessing rights
Ensure also that you have appropriate permissions for accessing the repository as sometimes the repositories are kept private for security concerns.
Connecting testing
Do not also forget to check the network connectivity. You can use the command line or even a version control system such as git to ensure that the network connectivity is enough or not. The command line is
“ git Is- remote ”
Check SSH keys or Credentials
If your repository demands authentication, ensure that your SSH keys or your credentials are correctly configured and also should have the required and appropriate permissions.
Contact the repository owner or admin
After utilizing all possible solutions, if you are still facing the same issue then you should contact the owner of a repository to verify the permissions or other issues related to the repository.
