I use git all the time and for some reason now every time i clone ANY repo i get this error
git clone https://github.com/ryanb/cancan.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/tamer /Desktop/paypal_adaptive/cancan/.git/
error: The requested URL returned error: 403 while accessing
https://github.com/ryanb/cancan.git/info/refs
fatal: HTTP request failed
I doesnt matter what repo....public or private..is there a setting/file on my mac that i need to change to make this work again. BTW I am on a mac/snow leopard
If you see this error when cloning a repository, it means that the repository does not exist, you do not have permission to access it, or your GitHub Enterprise Server instance is in private mode.
Repositories on GitHub are remote repositories. You can clone or fork a repository with GitHub Desktop to create a local repository on your computer. You can create a local copy of any repository on GitHub that you have access to by cloning the repository.
It looks like this is a known issue:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=341221
You can also try using the git protocol, instead of http.
git clone git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/e4/org.eclipse.orion.client.git
http support was much improved in 1.7+ and that may be your problem.
