Take the 2-minute tour ×

I have created a new repository in code.google.com, generated the code.google.com password and updated my ~/.netrc with

machine code.google.com login <email-id> password <password>

As per the instruction in the code.google.com, I was able to clone the repository using the following command:

git clone https://code.google.com/p/<repository-name>/

and after that I added some files to the repository and executed, git add, followed by git commit. But when I executed git push origin master it gave the following error

fatal: remote error: Repository not found

When google'ed for this issue, I found couple of links but the work-around that was mentioned in that didn't seem to work. Any suggestion would be highly appreciated!

UPDATE: I have tried the following work-arounds but unsuccessful:

  1. Update the url in the .git/config to take username and password
  2. Give the username and password in the url in the git clone command
  3. Update username and password with global git config command

Did you changed the repository type to git in Admin -> Source of your project? Or did you choosed git as type? The .netrc should look like this, not in one line.

machine code.google.com 
login <email-id> 
password <password>

what is in your .git/config ?

[remote "origin"]
    url = https://code.google.com/p/<PROJECTNAME>/
[branch "master"]
    remote = origin
    merge = refs/heads/master
