Have you send the task to review.

Effiok · February 19, 2021, 9:55am

@mihsan I had sent task for review

mihsan · February 19, 2021, 10:00am

Couldn’t see your task on the review board.
Can you share the link here?

Effiok · February 19, 2021, 10:04am

I can’t find the link.

mihsan · February 19, 2021, 10:06am

Once you click send to review it will open on the browser. Copy and paste that link here.

@mihsan You check…it up for review

mihsan · February 19, 2021, 10:48am

Unfortunately, your capture doesn’t have anything. Give it another try.

Based on the screenshot, use the trailing / on the destination folder.

That is /usr/src/kodekloudrepos/

You should see a subfolder with the repo name eg: games once the task done correctly.

@mihsan pls check the review

Effiok · February 19, 2021, 4:25pm

pls check. I have clone blog.git to /usr/scr/kodekloudrepos/ still got task failed

mihsan · February 19, 2021, 4:39pm

I have send you DM please have a look. It seem like you have used additional flag (such as --mirror) I’m not sure what type of impact that will have in this task. But i don’t think it is needed.

Effiok · February 19, 2021, 5:03pm

@mihsan Previously I did not used any flag. Tasks still fails

I have same issue
warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository.

gioshio85 · February 23, 2021, 8:50am

I’ve done task successfully
Clone without .git

cd /use/src/kodekloudrepos
git clone /opt/demo

Confirmed that this approach worked (as in, it passes the task check). But I agree with others, using git clone /opt/whatever.git /usr/src/kodekloudrepos should also be tested/validate as a correct approach (even though the output is not the same). I found that very confusing.

The content of the task is very confusing… thx for help good job

No that is not the problem. Actually the problem is “games.git” is a folder. But when we are using “git clone /opt/games.git /usr/src/kodekloudrepos”, it is treating that “games.git” as a file. So the solution is “git clone /opt/games.git/ /usr/src/KodeKloudreops”. And I found that solution for an YouTube channel name
