Git Clone – Repository not found

by

As mentioned by others the error may occur if the url is wrong.

However, the error may also occur if the repo is a private repo and you do not have access or wrong credentials.

Instead of

git clone https://github.com/NAME/repo.git

try

git clone https://username:[email protected]/NAME/repo.git

You can also use

git clone https://[email protected]/NAME/repo.git

and git will prompt for the password (thanks to leanne for providing this hint in the comments).
