I'm trying to clone an empty repository from my Gitlab account. I simply use the address shown on my Gitlab repository page under SSH
:
[email protected]:USERNAME/project-name.git
Then simply try this in an empty folder, but it keeps telling me permission denided, asking for retry:
git clone [email protected]:USERNAME/project-name.git
Cloning into 'project-name'...
[email protected]'s password:
Permission denied, please try again.
[email protected]'s password:
and when I choose the https
address for clone, this is the message:
remote: HTTP Basic: Access denied
fatal: Authentication failed for ....
I am able to login to Gitlab
homepage with that password, so I don't know what is really wrong.
What is wrong? How to fix it?
As I'm in Windows, this answer was the life saver:
It happen every time I'm forced to change the Windows password and none of above answers helped to me.
Try below solution which works for me:
Go to Windows Credential Manager (press Windows Key
and type credential
) to edit the git entry under Windows Credentials
. Replace old password with the new one.
