PyCharm with github private repositories

  • 3

I'm a PyCharm newbie. I've established my github credentials and have no problems with public repositories. I have problems with my private repos.

When I try to checkout from Github

Git repository URL
https://github.com/username/repo.git

(Obviously, I put the real URL)

I get: Repository test failed

What do I need to do?

Thank you.
You need to do exactly the same thing as for working with Git on the command line: configure your SSH key.

Thank you for your reply. What if I don't use ssh (as recommended per article that you refer to)?

Could you please describe step-by-step what do you perform before you get "Repository test failed"?
