Hey @Marvin. Im hitting the following error:

RuntimeError: Failed to clone repository '<https://github.com/coeverywhere/analytics-app.git>' with exit code 128.

Let's see what's causing this issue by examining documentation and relevant GitHub issues related to

cloning repository

errors for Prefect. I will search the Prefect documentation and GitHub issues for more clarity. It seems like you're encountering issues related to cloning a repository during a Prefect deployment. Let's summarize the findings and potential solutions based on the documentation and GitHub issues: 1. Access Tokens and Permissions: - Ensure you are using a valid Personal Access Token (PAT) with the appropriate permissions such as

Repositories->Read

. - Refer to the guide for generating tokens and setting permissions here. 2. HTTP Authentication: - If using HTTP for cloning, ensure you prepend the token string with

x-token-auth:

as mentioned in the documentation. 3. Repository Cloning Configurations: - The cloning process attempts to clone into a temporary directory and might fail if permissions or paths are incorrect. - Make sure that you configure the repository, branch, and credentials correctly. For example:

yaml
     pull:
       - prefect.deployments.steps.git_clone:
           repository: <https://github.com/your-repo.git>
           branch: main
           credentials: "{{prefect.blocks.git-credentials.your-credentials}}"

4. Common Errors Identified: - Exit Code 128 could be related to multiple issues, including authentication issues or repository URL errors. For more details, check related GitHub issues: - Is HTTP private repository supported for the pull action? - Cloning Error during pull step in deployment It's crucial to confirm: - The URL of your repository is correct. - The credentials provided have proper permissions and are correctly formatted. If issues persist, you might want to share specific configurations for more assistance. If you need further guidance on creating or using tokens and repository settings, I can search for that too. Otherwise, these steps should help you troubleshoot the problem.

@Marvin This is the exact code:

flow.from_source(
        source=GitRepository(
            url="<https://github.com/path.git>",
            branch="generate-ktcs",
            credentials={"access_token": Secret.load("github-access-token")},
        ),
        entrypoint="analytics_app/flows/update_ktcs.py:update_ktcs",
    )

For your specific code, the

RuntimeError: Failed to clone repository

typically suggests an issue with either the URL, the branch, or the credentials used for cloning the repository. Here's a detailed checklist to help you troubleshoot: 1. URL Validation: - Make sure the repository URL is correct and reachable (

<https://github.com/path.git>

should be a valid repo). 2. Branch Verification: - Ensure that the branch

generate-ktcs

indeed exists in your repository. 3. Credentials: - Ensure that your access token loaded via

Secret.load("github-access-token")

is valid, has necessary permissions, and is correctly formatted. Here's a refined way to load and use the secret within your configuration assuming you have Prefect Secret Block configured correctly: 1. Define Secret in Prefect:

python
   from prefect.blocks.system import Secret

   Secret(name="github-access-token").save("YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN_HERE")

2. Implementation in Flow:

python
   from prefect.filesystems import GitRepository
   from prefect.blocks.system import Secret

   access_token = Secret.load("github-access-token").get()

   flow.from_source(
       source=GitRepository(
           url="<https://github.com/path.git>",
           branch="generate-ktcs",
           credentials={"access_token": access_token},
       ),
       entrypoint="analytics_app/flows/update_ktcs.py:update_ktcs",
   )

3. Check Permissions: - The Personal Access Token should have

repo

permissions to access the repository. You can specify the scope of the PAT during creation. More on GitHub token scopes here. Take these steps to ensure the configuration, URL, branch, and credentials are correct. If the error persists, please verify if the repository and branch exist by manually cloning via the command line using the same URL and branch. For further debugging, also check the Prefect logs, as they might provide more specific details about the cloning failure. If you need help generating PAT or configuring Prefect Secrets, let me know.
