@Marvin I am getting permissions error when using GitRepository module to deploy flow. Any suggestions on how to fix

To help you with the permissions error you're encountering when using the GitRepository module to deploy your flow, I need to confirm which version of Prefect you are using. The instructions and solutions might differ between Prefect 2.x and 3.x. Could you please specify your Prefect version? If you're unsure, you can check by running the following command in your terminal:
Copy code
bash
prefect --version
Once you provide this information, I will look into appropriate resources and suggestions to help you fix the issue.

prefect 3.0.7
@Marvin prefect 3.0.7

It seems like you're facing a permissions error likely due to accessing a private Git repository when deploying your flow with Prefect 3.0.7. When dealing with private repositories, you need to ensure that Prefect has been configured with the appropriate authentication credentials. Here's a quick summary of how you can resolve this issue: 1. Repository Token: If your repository is private, you need to provide a token to access it. This token should be saved as a Prefect Secret. During the deployment setup, you'll be prompted to enter a token to access the private repository, which will be saved securely. 2. Repo Type: Ensure that you specify the correct repository type (GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab) as the URL used will vary depending on the provider. 3. Prefect Secret Block: Store the token in an encrypted Prefect Secret block. When deploying, Prefect will use this token for authentication. For more detailed guidance, you can refer to the official Prefect documentation: Prefect 3.x Deployment Guide. If you continue facing issues, make sure your Prefect user role has the necessary permissions to access secrets and execute deployments. You can manage user roles and permissions in Prefect as described here. By following these steps, you should be able to fix the permissions error when deploying your flow with a Git repository.
