error: raise HTTPError(http_error_msg, response=self)

[yansheng836]

When I trying to execute the example code ,it presents a problem：

$ ghclone https://github.com/HR/Crypter/tree/master/app
Cloning into 'app'...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "g:\python-3.7.1\lib\site-packages\ghclone\ghclone.py", line 80, in clone
    r.raise_for_status()
  File "g:\python-3.7.1\lib\site-packages\requests\models.py", line 940, in raise_for_status
    raise HTTPError(http_error_msg, response=self)
requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: https://api.github.com/repos/HR/Crypter/contents%5Capp?ref=master

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "G:\python-3.7.1\Scripts\ghclone-script.py", line 11, in <module>
    load_entry_point('ghclone==1.1.0', 'console_scripts', 'ghclone')()

    clone(api_req_url, rel_url, path, ref)
  File "g:\python-3.7.1\lib\site-packages\ghclone\ghclone.py", line 82, in clone
    exit_with_m('Failed to fetch metadata for ' + path, e)
TypeError: exit_with_m() takes from 0 to 1 positional arguments but 2 were given

In addition to this, when i pip the package ,it report a waring , I don't know if that will make a difference？

 WARNING: Retrying (Retry(total=4, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None, status=None)) after connection broken by 'ReadTimeoutError("HTTPSConnectionPool(host='files.pythonhosted.org', port=443): Read timed out.

But it should have been installed successfully, as it show the result code:

{
"message": "Not Found",
"documentation_url": "https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/contents/#get-contents"
}

I fixed it @yansheng836 try it now. The issue was that it wasn't windows-path-compatible but it should be now.

[yansheng836]

Sorry, I don't know how to update this tool.Could you give me some suggestions?

[HR]

No worries. Just pip install it again

pip install git+git://github.com/HR/github-clone#egg=ghclone

That’s still the old version

Try uninstalling it and then reinstalling it. The current version is 1.2.0

[yansheng836]

Thank you very much. The uninstall command $ pip uninstall git+git://github.com/HR/github-clone#egg=ghclone can work. Just like what you said, the new version tool can download the folder one of a repository.

The main reason is that I find the name of the library a bit strange, which I've never seen it. So I don't think the library can be uninstalled with this command and no have a try.

[HR]

It’s just pip uninstall ghclone

[yansheng836]

I don't know why, it doesn't seem to work for me.

[HR]

Open your Python 3.3+ site-packages path and delete the following:

• ghclone-1.1.0.dist-info/*
• ghclone/*
• ghclone-1.1.0.egg-info

Then reinstall it

I tried 1.2.0 with a fresh Windows install just yesterday and everything worked fine.

[yansheng836]

Ok, thank you for your answer.
