- Error: A Git ``clone`` operation failed
- #######################################
-
- This error indicates that ``dds`` failed to clone a Git repository.
-
- ``dds`` will invoke ``git clone`` as a subprocess to retrieve a copy of a
- remote repository. There are several reasons this might fail, but it is best
- to refer to the output of the ``git`` subprocess to diagnose the issue.
-
- A non-exhaustive list of things to check:
-
- #. Is the ``git`` executable available and on the ``PATH`` environment variable?
- #. Is the URL to the repository correct?
- #. Is the remote server accessible?
- #. Do you have read-access to the repository in question?
- #. Does the named tag/branch exist in the remote?
- #. If cloning a specific Git revision, does the remote server support cloning
- a repository by a specific commit? (Very often Git servers are not
- configured to support this capability).
-
- Be aware if you are using SSH-style ``git-clone`` that it will require the
- correct SSH keys to be available on the system where ``dds`` is running.
