How to solve Unexpected HTTP status code: 404(-1)

Question

Although I set up my xcode swift file to create a repository when I click SourceControl -> Make a Working Copy I receive the error window "All projects are already under source control. Then when I to Window -> Welcome to Xcode -> "Check out an existing project" I get the error "Unexpected HTTP status code: 404(-1). Does anyone have an idea on how to solve this please? Thank you

Answer 1

When you use Welcome to XCode > Check out an existing project you need to enter the github repository url as provided on the <> Code tab in github. It will look something like

    https://github.com/username/MyRepository.git

Answer 2

In my case I got -401 with the following premises:

• The URL was OK
• The user credentials were OK
• However, the user was not approved for downloading from that repository

Using the correct user solved the issue.
