I have a Java project that I'm making which has had several commits on github. I recently changed OS versions on Kubuntu from 17.10 -> 18.04, and have installed Netbeans 8.2 with Java Version 1.8.0_171 to avoid Java 9+ compatibility issues.

I can't clone the project from git, every time I try to import it using the built in Git "Team" support, my cridentials bounce back. This is mysterious since I use KeePassX to manage all my ID information and directly copy-paste it. I've verified that this is the correct sign in information by signing out on github.com and signing back in only using information in KeePassX, which is successful. I also directly copy the git address into the HTTPS field in Netbeans.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a workaround for this? Is this a well-known error?

The exact error is 

Incorrect credentials for repository at github.com:SarahSzabo/StellarOPUSConverter.git

That does not look like an https URL (it could be an SSH one, with an ~/.ssh/config file)

Make sure to copy the https URL:

https://github.com/SarahSzabo/StellarOPUSConverter

  • No Luck, this also didn't work after pasting the URL that you requested. I just verified that the login credentials were correct as a form of sanity check in a chromium private window. – Sarah Szabo Jun 11 '18 at 06:02
  • @SarahSzabo CAn you try with `https://github.com/SarahSzabo/StellarOPUSConverter.git` (adding the trailing .git) – VonC Jun 11 '18 at 07:04
  • @SarahSzabo Can you try with the `ssh version git@github.com:SarahSzabo/StellarOPUSConverter.git` (and specify the ssh key path by selecting "Private/Public Key") – VonC Jun 12 '18 at 04:51

This might be quiet old but hope it helps. Had the same issue

In NetBeans you can uncheck " Persist Remote" beside remote name.

    This partially answers the question. But then how about the original question of how to solve it within Netbeans? As the [How do I write a good answer?](https://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-answer) guide says, [provide answers that don't require clarification from the asker](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/214173/why-do-i-need-50-reputation-to-comment-what-can-i-do-instead). - [From Review](/review/late-answers/30405689) – Gino Mempin Nov 23 '21 at 02:52
