Github clone wiki "not found'

Question

How do you clone a Github wiki.

The several times I've copied to command from our repo and attempted to clone locally..

git clone https://github.com/[orgname]/[name].wiki.git

I get this error: fatal: repository git clone https://github.com/[orgname]/[name].wiki.git not found

Answer 1

不知道为什么它不能与 HTTPS 一起使用，但我将其更改为： git clone git@github.com:devforce/trailmaker.wiki.git并且现在可以使用了。

Answer 2

If it does not work with HTTPS, but works with SSH, it is possible:

• the repository is a private one
• the wrong credentials are cached (check git config --global credential.helper : you might need to remove the credential associated to github.com )
• the right GitHub user is identified through an SSH URL because of the default ~/.ssh/id_rsa private key whose public key is correctly registered.

A wrong authentication would generate a 404 (as a security best practice to avoid confirming the existence of a user when bad credentials are provided)
