I am trying to use xero-python-oauth2-starter-master but I cant get past the first step! I am on Windows and i have installed python 3.8, Visual Studio Code (I also tried this with the Anaconda suit) and latest Git.

When i try to run the dependencies on requirments.txt I get the error Permission denied. Please see below This is from using Windows PowerShell (also tried from cmd, Anaconda PowerShell and Anaconda CMD)

PS C:\Users\m.*\OneDrive\Python\xero-python-oauth2-starter-master> pip install -r requirements.txt

  • Edit `requirements.txt`, change all entries of `git@github.com:` to `https://github.com/` should correct the permission issue, or simply modify any usage of `git+ssh://git@` to `git+http://`. – metatoaster Aug 06 '20 at 11:34
  • I don't have `git@github.com:` or `git+ssh://git@` – Mike Aug 06 '20 at 11:42
  • You don't, but one of the dependencies listed, `flask-session`, does via its [`.gitmodules`](https://github.com/SqrtMinusOne/flask-session/blob/560d00f1a84a9924d788a4f4e1ef35c5cf94c76d/.gitmodules). – metatoaster Aug 06 '20 at 11:54
  • I dont understand what i must do – Mike Aug 07 '20 at 09:50
  • So because of that dependency it continued to give an error so i added the below on ~/.gitconfig `[url "https://"] insteadOf = ssh://git@ insteadOf = git@ [url "https://github.com/mitsuhiko/flask-sphinx-themes.git"] insteadOf = git@github.com:mitsuhiko/flask-sphinx-themes.git` so its not really a solution but it works – Mike Aug 07 '20 at 11:55

Try git config url.<URL>.insteadOf:

git config --global url."https://".insteadOf "git@"
git config --global url."https://".insteadOf "ssh://git@"

This way every git@ and ssh://git@ will be replaced with https://.

Upd

git config --global url."https://github.com/".insteadOf "git@github.com:"

git config --global url."https://github.com/mitsuhiko/flask-sphinx-themes.git".insteadOf "git@github.com:mitsuhiko/flask-sphinx-themes.git"

  • I did that and now i get this error `fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com:mitsuhiko/flask-sphinx-themes.git/': URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL` This is the original in the git sub-module `git@github.com:mitsuhiko/flask-sphinx-themes.git` – Mike Aug 07 '20 at 09:50
  • i just replaced the whole thing to the correct format in .gitconfig and it worked ok. Thank you – Mike Aug 07 '20 at 11:55
  • Oops, sorry, it must be `https://github.com/mitsuhiko/flask-sphinx-themes.git`. Added to the answer. – phd Aug 07 '20 at 12:42

Pretty sure you can resolve this by setting up your SSH keys for your github profile.

Please check that your SSH keys are setup for your github profile? https://github.com/settings/keys

We ran into some issues with the current version of Flask-Session and had to point to a specific commit and download that code into our project. But in order to do that your SSH keys need to be config.
