The repository does not seem to exist anymore. You may not have access, or it may have been deleted or renamed.

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

I belong to an organization and I have a private repository that I share with another team member. Both have admin previlages to this repository. But neither is able to fetch after initial cloning.

If I try to clone using Git Desktop version 2.4.1 Linux. On Pop-OS 20.04 LTS.

I get the error - Sorry, I cant find any repository matching https://github.com/Tiptoken/Purdue.git

Next I tried command line cloning. That worked but asked for my git login and password. The cloning was complete. I then went back to desktop and added the repository to it. But when I fetch origin I get the message. The repository does not seem to exist anymore. You may not have access, or it may have been deleted or renamed.

when I try command line fetch after it asks for my Tokentip login and password it fails with this message fatal: couldn’t find remote ref master

Version & OS

Steps to reproduce the behavior

I belong to an organization and I have a private repository that I share with another team member. Both have admin previlages to this repository. But neither is able to fetch after initial cloning.

If I try to clone using Git Desktop version 2.4.1 Linux. On Pop-OS 20.04 LTS.

when I try command line fetch after it asks for my Tokentip login and password it fails with this message fatal: couldn’t find remote ref master

Expected behavior

As I have access to the repository, I am the one that created the repository. And I gave myself Admin rights on that private repository. I should have access to clone and fetch.

Actual behavior

Not able to fetch or clone through desktop or command line.
