.git/info/refs not valid: is this a git repository?

[MarSchra]

I can't clone a repository using the git command under Ubuntu, as well as under WSL-Ubuntu.

While using Git Bash under Windows works both ways, with HTML authentication (2) and without (1) where I am asked for the password afterwards:

1. git clone https://user@git.myserver.com/Bonobo.Git.Server/Test.git
2. git clone https://user:password@git.myserver.com/Bonobo.Git.Server/Test.git

Doing the same under Ubuntu y get the message:

Cloning into 'Test'... 
fatal: https://git.myserver.com/Bonobo.Git.Server/Test.git/info/refs not valid: is this a git repository?

Note that I can ping git.myserver.com from Ubuntu. Note I changed the real names of the server and repository.

The version installed is Bonobo Git Server (6.3.0.632)

Thanks in advance for any hints and help!

Cheers

The issue could be due to SSL/TLS verification, authentication configuration, or a compatibility problem between Bonobo Git Server and your Ubuntu system.
Steps to resolve:
SSL/TLS Verification:
Temporarily disable SSL verification and try cloning again
git -c http.sslVerify=false clone https://user@git.myserver.com/Bonobo.Git.Server/Test.git
Update Git:
Ensure you have the latest Git client installed on Ubuntu:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa sudo apt update sudo apt install git
Credential Manager: Install and configure git-credential-libsecret to manage credentials on Ubuntu:
sudo apt install libsecret-1-0 libsecret-1-dev sudo make --directory=/usr/share/doc/git/contrib/credential/libsecret git config --global credential.helper /usr/share/doc/git/contrib/credential/libsecret/git-credential-libsecret

If the issue persists, check the Bonobo Git Server logs for any errors or misconfigurations related to Ubuntu clients.
