git-upload-pack not found

Question

I'm trying to clone an existing github-repository (Git for Windows) to an empty folder using

git clone https://github.com/di98jgu/D0016E---Digitalt-projekt.git 

but keep getting the error message:

fatal: https://github.com/di98jgu/D0016E---Digitalt-projekt.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?

The server is working fine (others are using it). Have tried adding the paths of git-upload-pack and git-receive-pack to gitconfig,

[remote "origin"]  url = https://github.com/di98jgu/D0016E--Digital-projekt.git  fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*  uploadpack = libexec/git-core/git-upload-pack receivepack = libexec/git-core/git-receive-pack 

but it didn't help. Seems like a lot of people are having problems causing a similar, but not exactly the same, error message git-upload-pack command not found, but don't think these solutions apply to my situation.

Anyone know how to solve this?

I just come across this issue right now, it is caused by permissions, please make sure that you current account has the permissions of git pull and git push，in your case , maybe you create a private repository in Github, and not add this account as Manage Collaborators, then the issue come.

Certainly you also should check if the remote URL is completely correct, include case insensitive, https or http.
