My Git Clone HTTPS URL is not loading when it I attempt to paste it in my browser, I don't know why?

[Braden Elliott]

I am attempting to give read-only access to another user I have already added them in repository permissions with read only access level. However every time I clone and paste the https url it permanently is loading. It does show the repository name on the left while the loading circle spins in the middle, but if you click on it, it says it doesn't exist. I'm wondering why it isn't working am I missing a step?

Hi and welcome to the community!

Are you on the Source page of the Bitbucket repo, and are you selecting the Clone link near the top right corner, as in the screenshot below?

If so, do you see the frame below and are you copy-pasting this URL on your browser's address bar?

Please keep in mind that this URL is meant to be used by a Git client for cloning, not on your browser.

If you want to get a URL that can be opened on your browser, you can copy-paste the URL that already exists on your browser's address bar while viewing the repo. Alternatively, you will need to remove the part sometestusername@ from the clone URL (where sometestusername should be your username) and also the .git extension, so that you have a URL like this:

• https://bitbucket.org/sometestagain/test

If I have misunderstood the issue, please provide clarification and the exact steps you are following, so I can better help you.

Kind regards,
Theodora
