Git Clone issue

I'm trying to clone some code I have in a private repository using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/username/repo_name.git

When I do this I get the error in the following format:

fatal: https://github.com/username/repo_name.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack not found: did you run it update-server-info on the server?

How do I fix this issue? Am I using the the wrong URL when I'm trying to clone the repository?

As illustrated in this issue, this is generally linked to an incorrect address:

  • incorrect username (or correct one, but with a wrong case)
  • incorrect reponame (or correct one, but with a wrong case)

Yeah, I think you should use git clone [email protected]:username/repo_name.git.

By the way, I can see you added github-for-windows tag - the easiest way to clone repo is to open GitHub for Windows application and clone it from there, because that way you can also clone any submodules you have in the repo without adding any parameters to git clone command.
