Vundle not authenticating github

Question

I have this on my ~/.vimrc.

set nocompatible              " be iMproved, required
filetype off                  " required

set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
call vundle#begin()
Plugin 'gmarik/Vundle.vim'
Plugin 'crooloose/nerdtree.git'
Plugin 'tomasr/molokai'
Plugin 'kien/ctrlp'
Plugin 'bling/vim-airline'
syntax enable
colorscheme molokai

Pretty, straight forward really. I have couple of plugins that I want to install using Vundle but whenever I do :PluginInstall it prompts me for the github username and password. I know that my username and password are correct but it keeps failing to authenticate. I have two way authentication on in github btw. I don't think that matters. However, I get the following error.

I even tried connecting to github by doing ssh -T [email protected] which says Hi shriek! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.

So, I'm kinda lost on what's going on. Help?

Answer 1

Maybe this is a simple error in the url declared in your plugins (that you are trying to clone)

https://github.com/crooloose/nerdtree.git does not exist.
https://github.com/scrooloose/nerdtree.git does.

Similarly:

https://github.com/kien/ctrlp does not exist.
https://github.com/kien/ctrlp.vim does

By declaring the right username and repo names in your ~/.vimrc, you should avoid those errors when cloning said plugins.
