Question

I want to clone repository by using following command.

 git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git

I have got following error with this command.

dev@ubuntu:/a/WebRtc/Tools$ 
dev@ubuntu:/a/WebRtc/Tools$git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git
Cloning into 'depot_tools'...
fatal: 'origin' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
dev@ubuntu:/a/WebRtc/Tools$

I have tried this in following ways:

• Update git version.
• Try with Ubuntu 15.10 and 14.04.4.
• Try same command in windows machine, it working.

Answer 1

Such an error message during a clone (not a push or pull) indicates that git is not able to properly create the local repo.
See for instance " Cannot git clone to VMWare shared folder ", where the impossibility to create hard-link was problematic.

Check:

• if your user has the right to create file/symlink/hardlink, or
• if there is some kind apparmor policy which would prevent/limit the creation of files in your setup, or
• if /a/WebRTC is a mounted folder with restricted rights
