We are in the process of moving from a Self Hosted Gitlab to GitHub. Now I have changed the Git to GitHub under Deploy Settings, but now the Git clone is failing.

7:30:10 PM: Build ready to start
7:30:12 PM: build-image version: d84c79427e8f83c1ba17bcdd7b3fe38059376b68

7:30:13 PM: git lfs clone https://github.com/bergwerk/bergwerk-website
7:30:15 PM: Error cloning repository: https://github.com/bergwerk/bergwerk-website

7:30:15 PM: Failed during stage 'preparing repo': exit status 2

To be honest I have no idea why.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Best regards,

hi Marvin, so that error message “failed while preparing repo” definitely indicates we are having problems cloning, either with the permissions to access the repo OR with the repo itself.

Are you able to manually clone the repo down into a fresh, bare directory without problems?

What happens if you try to revoke the permissions for access to that repo for netlify and then re-established?

You were right. Something went wrong when importing the repository to Github, that was the problem. Thanks a lot!
