Hi Alef, welcome to the Community :)

That might be caused by several reasons:

* Did you write the name of the repo correctly?
* Do you have the right permissions to access that repo?
* How are you trying to clone it?

Let us know!

Hi @Alef Oliveira,

After trying to clone a repository it presented this error. Do I need to configure ssh key?

It depends on the protocol you are using to clone the repository. If you are cloning a repository using HTTP(S) protocol, then you should be using username/password for authentication. SSH keypair are used when cloning using SSH protocol.

Could you share the git clone command and its output from Terminal / Command Prompt so we can review the issue you have reported and provide you with further information?
