Git Repo Clone Keeps Failing

General
1

I am unable to set up an environment with the git repo I am working on cloned. It keeps trying to clone my repo into the directory it starts with which isn’t empty:

fatal: destination path '/home/user/statt_llm' already exists and is not an empty directory.

Not sure how to actually proceed from here.

I get the same error. I tried to pull a project in from GitHub and I got the same. It’s a python/flask app with a react front end.

Same issue here, as a former googler, can’t believe product with this bug could launch…

Hello,
Open terminal. Try removing the project folder (/home/userstatt_llm) and then git clone using http url. It will ask you to authorize and will redirect you to github to complete it. It worked for me

is this repo private?

Thanks for reporting this! The team is working on a fix for the private repo import issue, but in the meantime, you can use the terminal to delete the repo directory Firebase Studio created, authenticate to GitHub, and clone your private repo. I added some instructions for this workaround here: Importing a private Github repo errors - #17 by jenh
