Can't clone remote git repository with EGit
It sounds like Egit is looking for an ssl certificate and refusing to function without it. A good fix to make the problem go away and stay away:
Window→Preferences→Team→Git→Configuration→New Entry→http.sslverify
=false.
That should take care of it.
Adding .git to the repository url worked for me.
This worked for me.
1) In Eclipse, Window -> Preferences -> General -> Network Connections -> SSH2
(Or else just type SSH2 on search filter). Go to "Key Management"
tab. Click on "Generate RSA Key"
. You can now see the generated key information. Copy this generated key. Keep this window open and do step 2.
2) Go to GitHub account.Click on your profile -> Manage Account -> SSH keys -> Add key
. Now Paste the previously copied key and then "Add key"
.
3) Now go back to eclipse Preferences window. Click "Save Private Key"
to save RSA key to a file. By defaults this will be saved to Users\user_name\.ssh
directory. Providing Passphrase is optional here.
That's all, Now restart Eclipse and clone the repository.
