I’m trying to follow this guide here:
to create a github repository for an existing overleaf project. When I copy the
git clone https://git@git.overleaf.com/[somelongnumber]
into my command line (Windows 10), the guide tells me I should see a login promt. I did a few times and incorrectly entered my overleaf and github passwords assuming they would be useful when using github or overleaf. Now I know I need to use “git” as a username and the newly generated overleaf token which I have. However, now the command line throws the following error instead of a password promt ([me] being my username or project number):
C:\Users\[me]>git clone https://git@git.overleaf.com/[me]
Cloning into '[me]'...
remote: Overleaf now only supports Git authentication tokens to access git. See:
https://www.overleaf.com/learn/how-to/Git_integration_authentication_tokens
fatal: unable to access 'https://git.overleaf.com/[me]/': The requested URL returned error: 403
I don’t know how to debug this and I can’t follow overleafs guide any further now. Was a local clone already created that git is now trying to update? Could I delete that somehow and start from scratch? And why is it always half a day of work to get anything logged into or integreated with github?
