Pulling down a forked branch
Hi All,
I am attempting to pull down this fork and I am getting an error:
https://github.com/apache/fineract/pull/680
*(base) natashan:Fineract natasha$ git remote add wkk91193
git@github.com:wkk91193/fixing-bulk-import-integration-test-failures.git*
*(base) natashan:Fineract natasha$ git fetch wkk91193*
*ERROR: Repository not found.*
*fatal: Could not read from remote repository.*
*Please make sure you have the correct access rights*
*and the repository exists.*
I appreciate any insight into this matter.
Regards,
Natasha

Thank you, Michael! It seems to have worked! Definitely, I will look into
those git tools.

Manoj, you're close, but in this particular case, the "have the correct
access rights" message is due to something slightly different...
Natasha, you are actually up against not 1 and not 2 but 3 separate
problems here... ;-)
1. Unless I'm mistaken and the syntax has changed since I last did this, I
believe your use of "fixing-bulk-import-integration-test-failures" in the
URL is slightly wrong - that is a Git branch name, not a valid Git
Remote... what you want to do is fetch from a remote repo, and then
checkout a branch. It takes a bit of getting used to, and best is probably
to read up more Git documentation / tutorials online. What you wanted to do
was just:
git remote add wkk91193 git://github.com/wkk91193/fineract.git
2. even if you did 1. correctly, you'll still get a "fatal: remote error:
Repository not found.". This is simply because @wkk91193 seems to actually
have deleted his fork :-( Note how https://github.com/wkk91193/fineract
404s.
3. Even though @wkk91193 deleted his for,
https://github.com/apache/fineract/pull/680 is still "there". What GitHub
seems to do in such cases of open PRs on deleted forks is that you can
still grab it from the main origin repo - like this:
git fetch origin refs/pull/680/head
BTW personally I like to use https://cli.github.com or
https://github.com/github/hub to make this kind of thing easier (I often
use "hub checkout https://github.com/apache/fineract/pull/680", which
internally does the same thing).
Hope this helps?
M.

Hi,
Try logging out from git local and try, I use to get this error when I work
with multiple git credentials.
While logged in, in the local with one credentials and try to fetch a
remote repo forked with another credentials.
git config --global --unset user.name
git config --global --unset user.email
git config --global --unset credential.helper
Or all your global settings:
git config --global --unset-all
Thanks,
Manoj
