Git troubleshooting

On this page, we collect the typical issues related to the Nuvolos Git integration.

I cannot clone a private repository from a running Nuvolos application

This can happen for various reasons:

1. The application runs in shared mode

2. You have not restarted your application since you generated the SSH key

3. You're using the wrong URL for the clone command (you should use the SSH-based URL starting with git@... for private repositories instead of the HTTP-based starting with https://...)

I created a new space based on a git repo, but the repository wasn't cloned

When creating a new space based on a repo, you need to pay attention to the following:

1. If you want to clone a public repository without setting up your SSH key, you must use the https://... clone URL. The git@... will only work with a correct SSH key setup, as the protocol itself always requires the SSH key to work, regardless if the repository is private or public.

2. If you want to clone a private repository, you must set up your SSH key, and use the clone URL beginning with git@... .
