cannot open git-upload-pack error in Eclipse when cloning or pushing git repository

Question

I am not able to clone or push to a git repository at Bitbucket in Eclipse     It s weird  because a day before I didn t have any problem  I have downloaded the sts 3 times with no luck  This error keeps showing  Also I have installed SourceTree and it says  This is not a valid source path   URL      If I use git commands to import the project  it works  but I wan t to use EGit for this task  since I am a newbie with git    I don t know if this has to do with it  but in the same directory I have the android-adt-bundle  This one works pretty well  but the project lies on GitHub and not Bitbucket  Also  I m working with another person and he is able to fetch and push data from and to the Bitbucket repository  I have read lots of posts but none of them have helped me out    I m using Windows 7 btw

I had a similar problem and a quick fix to your issue is to make sure that you set your JVM option in the eclipse.ini file to use jre7. Older Jre's come with an old local policy file and this will return errors. One quick note also is that you need to point to your javaw not java.

-vm c:\PROGRA~2\Java\jre745\bin\javaw.exe -vmargs -Xms40m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true

i ve tried all those methods but it didn t work then a workmate told me that Putty Key Generator  used to generate keys with  1024 bits but now Putty generate 2048 bits keys by default    so you just need to change the  Number of bits in a generated key   and it should work

This issue can be caused when you have a local firewall which is preventing your application from being able to send any network traffic away from your machine  I e  Outbound traffic or egress traffic rules   Please try disabling your firewall for a quick test to see if this fixes your issue   If it does then setup the appropriate firewall policy for the application you are trying to use to push or pull to a git repository

Might also be bad SSL cert  fix the server  If you have a GIT server with an outdated or self-signed SSL cert fix the server  afterwards everything should run fine    Insecure Hotfix  Let the client accept any certificate  The following solution is just a mere hotfix on client side and should be avoided as it compromises security of your credentials and content  There is a detailed explanation for this in  How can I make git accept a self signed certificate   which offers more complex and more secure solutions you can try out if the following works in general   In my case it was Eclipse using a different storage for the git config as the command line does and thus not having the option   git config http sslVerify false   set  which I set using command line for the repo for working with invalid untrusted SSL cert    Adding the option insides Eclipse immediately resolves the issue  To add the option    open preferences via application menu Window    Preferences  or on OSX Eclipse    Settings   Navigate to Team    Git    Configuration  click Add entry     then put http sslVerify in the key box and false in the value box    Seems to be a valid solution for Eclipse 4 4  Luna   4 5 x  Mars  and 4 6 x  Neon  on different Operating systems

Finally I made it work thanks to the steps outlined in the Eclipse forum   Set up the SSH key stuff   Download and install mysys git according to the github instructions at http   help github com win-git-installation  In C  Users you ssh hide any existing keys  id rsa and id rsa pub  in a subdirectory  If the ssh directory does not exist  create it  Of course   you  is your username as the OS knows you  From the start menu  run Git-Bash command shell  a regular DOS command shell will not work   In the Git-Bash shell generate an rsa key based on your email  the one you registered at github   ssh-keygen -t rsa -C  you wherever com  and enter your pass phrase and confirm when asked  The previous step should have created C  User you ssh id rsa pub which you can now open in a text editor and copy  At github  go to account settings  SSH Keys  add a key and paste this in the key box  In Git-Bash again  notice the back-ticks in the next line    eval  ssh-agent  ssh-add C  User you ssh id rsa ssh git github com    Here is what you just did  You ran the ssh-agent which is needed by ssh-add  Then you used ssh-add to make note of the location of your key  Then you tried to ssh to GitHub  The response to this last command should be that you have successfully authenticated at GitHub but that you don t have shell access  This is just an authentication test  If the authentication was not successful  you ll have to sort that out  Try the verbose version   ssh -v git github com   Assuming this worked      In Eclipse  configure the remote push   Window   Show View   Git   Git Repositories will add a repository explorer window  In the repository window  select the repository and expand and right-click Remotes and choose Create Remote  Copy the GitHub repository URI from the GitHub repository page and paste it in the URI box  Select ssh as the protocol but then go back to the URI box and add  git   at the beginning so it looks like this   git ssh   git github com UserName ProjectName git In the Repository Path box  remove the leading slash Hit Next and cross your fingers  If your get  auth fail   restart Eclipse and try step 5 again  When you get past the authentication  in the next dialog select  master  for source ref  click  Add all branches spec  and  Finish      Instead of using SSH git github com I did it with SSH git bitbucket org   Now I can push and import without any problem

to fix SSL issue you can also try doing this   Download the NetworkSolutionsDVServerCA2 crt from the bitbucket server and add it to the ca-bundle crt  ca-bundle crt needs to be copied from the git install directory and copied to your home directory  cp -r git mingw64 ssl certs ca-bundle crt     then do this  this worked for me cat NetworkSolutionsDVServerCA2 crt    ca-bundle crt  git config --global http sslCAInfo   ca-bundle crt  git config --global http sslverify true
