cannot open git upload pack error in Eclipse when cloning or pushing git repository

About this question

I am not able to clone or push to a git repository at Bitbucket in Eclipse:

It's weird, because a day before I didn't have any problem. I have downloaded the sts 3 times with no luck. This error keeps showing. Also I have installed SourceTree and it says 'This is not a valid source path / URL':

If I use git commands to import the project, it works, but I wan't to use EGit for this task, since I am a newbie with git.

I don't know if this has to do with it, but in the same directory I have the android-adt-bundle. This one works pretty well, but the project lies on GitHub and not Bitbucket. Also, I'm working with another person and he is able to fetch and push data from and to the Bitbucket repository. I have read lots of posts but none of them have helped me out.

I'm using Windows 7 btw.

Encountering the "Cannot open git-upload-pack" error in Eclipse typically indicates an issue with Git's network connectivity or authentication. To resolve this, you can try the following steps:


Check Network Connection: Ensure that your network connection is stable and that you can access the Git repository's server.

Verify Repository URL: Double-check the URL of the Git repository you are trying to clone or push. Make sure it is correct and properly formatted.

SSH Key Configuration: If you are using SSH authentication, verify that your SSH key is correctly configured and added to your Git hosting provider (e.g., GitHub, GitLab). Ensure that Eclipse is configured to use SSH authentication.

HTTPS Authentication: If you are using HTTPS authentication, ensure that your credentials (username and password) are correctly configured in Eclipse or that you have set up Git credential caching.

Firewall or Proxy Settings: Check if your firewall or proxy settings are blocking Git's network access. Adjust your firewall or proxy settings if necessary to allow Git's traffic.

Git Version Compatibility: Ensure that the version of Git installed on your system is compatible with the version of Eclipse you are using. Updating Git to the latest version may resolve compatibility issues.

Eclipse Git Configuration: Verify that Eclipse is configured to use the correct version of Git. You can check this in Eclipse's preferences under Team > Git.

By following these steps and addressing any issues identified, you should be able to resolve the "Cannot open git-upload-pack" error in Eclipse when cloning or pushing Git repositories.
