Hi
I have done the task where it asks to clone git repo from a source to another and done correctly, should be a pretty simple and easy task to do but for some reason the task keep failing me after maybe 6 or 7 tries with different methods and made sure also that the repo is in place.
is there anything missing related to that task that I am not seeing?
Which task are you doing? Different tasks have different things you need to worry about. If it’s a “day of devops”, what day would a good thing to know.
Sure
It’s the task where you need to clone a git repo for example from /opt/apps.git to /usr/src/kodekloudrepos
the thing is it should only be two commands to just cd to the destination directory and use “git clone /opt/apps.git”
or I used “git clone /opt/apps.git /usr/src/kodekloudrepos”
and both of them tried using normal user privileges and sudo as well
the thing also is when I do the cloning and check via “ls -la” it displays the cloned repo but missing .git where I checked online tutorials and used the exact steps it clones the repo with .get extension but it doesn’t do it for me
sorry for the long essay
That’s not the command you want. git clone /opt/apps.git /usr/src/kodekloudrepos turns kodekloudrepos into a repo. You want the repo to be inside of that directory, not the repo itself. So the correct command is:
cd /usr/src/kodekloudrepos
git clone /opt/apps.git
I think I did try it before but it may have been with root privileges, but anyways that was it so thank you so much Sir!
that was so much appreciated
