Cloning Remote Depository

Git for Beginners
#1

I am stuck on the first question on GIt Cloning:

I thought at first I was supposed to log into the GIT portal like the lecture showed, but the credentials do not work. I followed the hint and I keep on getting a fatal error: Please help!

max $ git clone http://git.example.com/sarah/story-blog.git
Cloning into 'story-blog'...
fatal: repository 'http://git.example.com/sarah/story-blog.git/' not found

First max needs to download the current code (stories) uploaded by Sarah in remote repository. As user Max , clone the remote repo to his home directory - /home/max

Target repo web URL : http://git.example.com/sarah/story-blog

You can also find this URL from UI

Hi @emmy813
Try resetting the lab. It is working for me

max $ git clone http://git.example.com/sarah/story-blog
Cloning into 'story-blog'...

Thank you so much! I don’t know why it wasn’t working. It is now. :slight_smile:
