Git clone not loading

I just formatted my SSD, and I installed Git, but now git clone is not loading for me when I clone from Bitbucket. It works from Github, so it might be an issue with repository permissions. I don't know how to sign in to Bitbucket, because nothing is popping up telling me to sign in. I tried to clone in VS Code and Git Bash, and it just won't load. I attached screenshots of it cloning. Anyone know what I can do? Do you think I installed Git wrong? It is making the folder that I am trying to clone, but doesn't put the files in it.

Thanks so much!

Git Bash

Solution

  • I can't tell you for sure what the problem is but here you have some things that you can try:

    Use the --verbose option together with the git clone command, using Git Bash (instead of cloning with VSCode).
    Example:

    git clone --verbose https://[email protected]/project/testing.git

    That way you can see if it really is stuck or just taking a lot of time.

    Also, I recommend using SSH instead of HTTP if possible [you would need to generate an SSH key file on your computer and then add your generated public key (it's called id_rsa.pub by default) in Bitbucket. For more information, please read their documentation. It's simple and considered safer than HTTPS. Maybe that will also help you in your situation.

    If you start using SSH, you can check your connection to Bitbucket by using the following command:

    ssh -vv [email protected]
