I am using Intellij Idea Ultimate edition 14.0.3. my Git plugin tests successfully but when I create a new workspace and try to checkout my project using Github it gives me an error -

Service unavailable

I have tried using both Auth Types - Password and Token, but looks like I am not connecting to the Github repository. I have double checked my user credentials and they are correct. My host name also follows the expected syntax :-

ssh://git@......git

When I test the Github connection, the error message is as under:

Can't login: Can't get user info
Service Unavailable

Is there an issue with my proxy? I am using the default Proxy settings.

  • What's your OS? Did you try git clone from the command line? – superbob May 21 '15 at 17:42
  • I am using Windows 7 and I have not tried that. How do I do so? – Hello May 21 '15 at 17:45
  • I just tried using 14.1.1 and the github integration, no problems at all. Just added my username/password and it worked out of the box. – Andreas Wederbrand May 21 '15 at 17:47
  • Download and install [Git for Windows](https://msysgit.github.io). Don't forget to choose the shell integration (option 2). Then inside a cmd prompt (or the git shell) enter `git clone git@github.com/yourname/yourrepo` and see if it works – superbob May 21 '15 at 17:51
  • Okay I did that.. Its not accepting my credentials on the command line, but when I try to sign in to the repository on a browser, it lets me in successfully. I get the following authentication error on command line after 3 password attempts(even though it is the correct password) : "Permission denied. fatal: could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists." – Hello May 21 '15 at 18:09
  • My bad, try the _https_ URL (`https://www.github.com/...`) instead or the _ssh_ URL (`git@github.com`). The ssh uses _rsa/dsa key authentication_ that you may haven't configured yet whereas the https uses your GitHub _user/password authentication_. BTW tell me if it works so I can write all it down on a clean answer – superbob May 22 '15 at 04:02
  • There is also the option of choosing _Git_ instead of _GitHub_ and configure your repo bypassing the GitHub integration that is maybe failing in your case. – superbob May 26 '15 at 07:53
  • Okay, I figured out your problem, it is the hostname, it should be github.com, not the repository url, see my answer for the details – superbob May 26 '15 at 08:07
  • Okay, so my url is ssh://git@stash........git. Is that okay? – Hello May 26 '15 at 21:12

Can you try the https: style url, instead of ssh:

e.g.

https://github.com/My-name/my-repo.git

I suggest to create a new intellij project and check out your repo via the menu: VCS -> Checkout from Version Control -> Git

  • Okay, I can check out the project successfully using the above. However, when I go the new workspace, my code is not connected to the GIT version control. Hence, I cannot do an Update or Check in etc, since the code is not connected to Git. – Hello May 27 '15 at 14:37

You aren't using the right hostname.

ssh://git@......git is your repository, not your hostname.

The hostname should be simply: github.com.

When you have successfully connected, IntelliJ IDEA will let you choose your repository. See "Cloning a Repository from GitHub" for more information about that.
