I am trying to clone remote git repository with Egit, via https protocol. I followed this online tutorial.
When I insert URI: https://username@host:port/repositorypath, password and click NEXT, I am getting this error message:
Cannot list the available branches. Reason: Exception caught during execution of ls-remote command.
How can I clone this repo?
Cloning Repositories In order to checkout a remote project, you will have to clone its repository first. Open the Eclipse Import wizard (e.g. File => Import), select Git => Projects from Git and click Next. Select “URI” and click next. Now you will have to enter the repository's location and connection data.
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.
