mac does not appear to be a git repository miss a slash

I 

git clone -v https://test.example.cc/Taotie/discover.git /Users/Macbook/go/src/test.example.cc/Taotie/discover

It fail.

git clone https://test.example.cc/Taotie/discover.git
Cloning into 'discover'...
fatal: '[email protected]/discover.git' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

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

but if I 

git clone https://github.com/xormplus/xorm.git

it works.

I don't know why it miss a "/" int the git url .

and if I 

git clone [email protected]:Taotie/discover.git

it works,because I have already add my mac rsa_pub into the gitlab and I can always git clone success with this format

 git clone [email protected]:anything/project.

The reason I ask this question it that I use go get and it return error

bogon:Taotie Macbook$   go get test.example.cc/Taotie/discover
# cd .; git clone https://test.example.cc/Taotie/discover.git /Users/Macbook/go/src/test.example.cc/Taotie/discover
Cloning into '/Users/Macbook/go/src/test.example.cc/Taotie/discover'...
fatal: '[email protected]/discover.git' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
package test.example.cc/Taotie/discover: exit status 128

Finally git config --global url."[email protected]:".insteadOf "https://test.example.cc/" solved my problem~~~

Solution

  • As @Oren_C said:

    "fatal: '[email protected]/discover.git' does not appear to be a git repository" This is a syntax related to cloning with SSH.

    You're cloning with SSH that being said and the repo exists, the only option left would be that you didn't add a SSH public key to your git instance.

    You can copy it from ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

    Edit

    OP had used a wrongly url. The fix was to use: [email protected]:Taotie/discover.git Note the : between host and repo instead of /

    Edit 2

    To clone the repo into your given directory use the following command:

    git clone [email protected]:Taotie/discover.git /Users/Macbook/go/src/test.example.cc/Taotie/discover

    This will clone the repo in the given directory: /Users/Macbook/go/src/test.example.cc/Taotie/discover.

    last edit

    To clone it with Golang you should add a configuration:

    git config --global url."[email protected]:".insteadOf "https://test.example.cc/"

    This replaces the generated git url to be formatted correctly in the form of: [email protected]/name/repo.git

    Then just run go get https://test.example.cc/Taotie/discover.git
