Are you sure PuTTy is running and has your SSH key loaded?

You could also try cloning via the command-line (make sure git-for-windows is installed first!):

* Open the command-prompt in the directory you wish to clone in
* Run 'git clone https://github.swarthmore.edu/kwang2/bis/`
* See if that works, or if it also gives you an error

Hi @bgannin ,

Thank you for helping me! I am currently using sourcetree 3.1.2 on windows 10. There are errors shown when I am trying to clone a repository:

Command: perl.exe C:\Users\kwang2\AppData\Local\SourceTree\app-3.1.2	ools\svn.pl info https://github.swarthmore.edu/kwang2/bis
Output: 
Error: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The system cannot find the file specified

Command: git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false --no-optional-locks ls-remote https://github.swarthmore.edu/kwang2/bis
Output: 
Error: remote: Password authentication is not available for Git operations.
remote: You must use a personal access token or SSH key.
remote: See https://github.swarthmore.edu/settings/tokens or https://github.swarthmore.edu/settings/ssh
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.swarthmore.edu/kwang2/bis/': The requested URL returned error: 403

Command: hg identify extensions.hgext.hgsubversion=! https://github.swarthmore.edu/kwang2/bis
Output: 
Error: abort: HTTP Error 406: Not Acceptable

I presume it's something about SSH, so I tried to redo the steps of generating SSH key and attach it to my account. But it didn't help with the situation.

My account is based on my school's github account http://github.swarthmore.edu

Again, thank you!

Hi @Ke Wang,

A few questions:

1. What version of the app are you using?

2. What OS are you on?

3. Are there any errors shown when you try to clone?
