Fail to log in to Git with Anvil account

Anvil Q&A
1

Hi,

I’m newcomer to Anvil and try to log in to Github making use of my Anvil e- mail and password. I fail and as I try to request a new password I get the message:
“That address is either invalid, not a verified primary email or is not associated with a personal user account. Organization billing emails are only for notifications”

Could the above be a related reason my failure to clone test app to my machine? What I see is:
a)
USER@LenovoLT MINGW64 /
$ git clone ssh://kag%40optim-al.com@anvil.works:2222/NTUKZ565LVZFFJYR.git App1
fatal: could not create work tree dir ‘App1’: Permission denied

b) As I press Save button, there is no feed back or any result on my machine (Windows 10). My SSH public key is displayed in the box correctly

I’ll appreciate help and advice

Thanks
K

Hi, @kag. You’re listing several different messages, about several different problems. Let’s resolve one problem at a time.

I’m using Windows 10, and long ago I ran into a problem with the git command. It’s been a long time since then, so I hope I’m getting the details right for you.

As displayed, the git command is for Linux machines. Under the Windows command prompt, provided by CMD.EXE, the % sign is treated differently. CMD sees it as the beginning of a reference to an environment variable, and tries to expand it. In the process, CMD consumes the % that git was expecting, and other text after it. The result: git doesn’t see everything it needs to see, and fails.

I ended up writing a Python program to invoke git. (It does other housework, too.)

You may be able to get around this problem by using %% in place of %.

The other issue is that when git is done, git waits for a keystroke, but doesn’t tell you that it’s waiting. This makes it look like git has failed, “hung up”, stuck in an infinite loop. At that point, pressing Enter should return you to the Command Prompt.

Hope this helps you with problem a).

Thank you, @p.colbert!

I corrected according to your advice and made some progress. The problem now is I can’t enter password (simply can’t type nor paste). Maybe because the first issue (could not log in to Git with Anvil credentials).
C:\Users\USER>git clone ssh://kag%%40optim-al.com@anvil.works:2222/NTUKZ565LVZFFJYR.git App1
Cloning into ‘App1’…

That seems a reasonable guess. So why not tackle that one next? I don’t have that experience, but someone else here probably does.

Yes. I’ll be waiting for someone to help me with the authentication issue, first.

I use Win 10 ang ubuntu without any issue at all, just need password without the key.

How about removing key and use password only?

Thanks Tony!

It worked. However, it is strange that I was not able to enter password - entering keys were impossible, but after Ctrl-C, checked and the app was in my machine.

Regards
