nbgitpuller generated url failed to open

[amirayuyue]

I attempted to utilize nbgitpuller to create a URL for opening the repository on JupyterHub. However, after generating the URL using the browser extension tool, it failed to open the repository correctly on JupyterHub. Instead, it displayed the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/nbgitpuller/pull.py", line 118, in resolve_default_branch head_branch = subprocess.run( File "/usr/lib/python3.10/subprocess.py", line 526, in run...

Hi @amirayuyue! Can you show us the full URL that was used?

[amirayuyue]

Hi @yuvipanda here is the url: https://ucmerced.2i2c.cloud/user/yyu49@ucmerced.edu/git-pull?repo=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Famirayuyue%2FjupyterHub_test&urlpath=lab%2Ftree%2FjupyterHub_test%2F&redirects=1

@amirayuyue it looks like https://github.com/amirayuyue/jupyterhub_test is not a public repository. By default, nbgitpuller can only pull public repos - it needs extra configuration (via https://github.com/yuvipanda/git-credential-helpers) for it to pull private repos. I don't think that has been set up for the hub you are using.

Can you try it on a public repo?

[amirayuyue]

Hi @yuvipanda got it. Thank you so much for your help! Yes, once I changed it to public repo, everything now works! Thanks again!

@amirayuyue you are welcome :)
