The requested repository does not exist, or you do not have permission to
access it.

I have a permission and I can clone it.

What could be the cause and how to fix?

Answer 1

In my case (teamcity 2020), I had to replace

url = git@github.com:'Projectname'.git

with

url = https://github.com/'Projectname'.git

in the git config file of the agents.

Not sure why, however, it solved the issue...

Answer 2

Delete the folder from C:\BuildAgent\system\git*.git folder which resolved your problem

Answer 3

Removing folders located at C:\TeamCity\BuildAgent\system\git\git-XXXX.git on the TeamCity server worked. I deleted the folders corresponding to the time when the issue first occurred and after. Because I didn't want to screw anything up, I backed up all of the folders to be removed first, but there were no issues.

Answer 4

Removing C:\BuildAgent\system\git\git-2EAC5546.git helped me.
