@Marvin I get this error when running a prefect flow, what could it be?

RuntimeError: Failed to clone repository '<https://git.myorg/project/repo.git>' with exit code 128.

The error

RuntimeError: Failed to clone repository

with exit code 128 generally indicates an issue with the Git repository access or the specific environment setup. Common causes include: 1. Authentication Issues: Ensure you have the correct access token or SSH key configured. - For HTTPS access, make sure your personal access token (PAT) is correctly set and has adequate permissions. - For SSH access, ensure your SSH keys are correctly configured and available. 2. Repository URL: Double-check the repository URL for typos or incorrect formatting. The repository URL should match the format and protocol (HTTPS/SSH) required. 3. Permissions: Make sure the user running the Prefect flow has the necessary read permissions on the repository. 4. Network Access: Ensure the network from which you're running the flow can access the repository URL without any firewall or proxy issues. 5. Configuration in Prefect: Check that the repository configuration and any credentials are correctly specified in your Prefect deployment setup. ### References: - Github authentication for `git clone` via HTTPS - Prefect Deployments with Git ### Potential Solutions: 1. Using Personal Access Tokens (PAT):

yaml
    pull:
      - prefect.deployments.steps.git_clone:
          repository: <https://git.myorg/project/repo.git>
          branch: main
          access_token: "{{ prefect.blocks.secret.git-token }}"

2. Proper Configuration: Ensure the token or credentials are stored correctly and accessed using Prefect's secret management. Example of HTTPS configuration in the Prefect YAML:

yaml
    pull:
      - prefect.deployments.steps.git_clone:
          repository: <https://git.yourorg/project/repo.git>
          branch: main
          access_token: "your-personal-access-token"

3. Using SSH: If you are using SSH for cloning the repository: - Ensure your SSH keys are added to the SSH-agent. - Your repository URL should use the

git@...

format. If these suggestions do not resolve the issue, please review the specific logs around the failed clone operation for more details.
