git-upload-pack not found while adding new repository to Eclipse Git

Question

I use Eclipse with GIT plugin. I try to add a new GitHub repository, by copying the GitHub URL to the clipboard, then going to the "Git Repositories" view and right-clicking "Paste Repository Path or URL".

I get the following error:

https://github.com/rothariel/aimnegochat: https://github.com/rothariel/aimnegochat/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack not found

This is strange, because I already have some repositories in this view...

Can you confirm you copied this ( github.com/rothariel/aimnegochat.git )? With https:// in front, it is just the editor which cut it out — ThanksForAllTheFish

Ah, yes, I copied from the browser URL line, which didn't contain the ".git" extension. How could you deduce this from the cryptic error message?! Thanks! — Erel Segal-Halevi

I really have no idea! Probably I did the same mistake some time ago and it just popped into my mind :) BTW, I tried to translate my comment into an answer for future reference. — ThanksForAllTheFish

From Erel's answer to my question in the comment section, it turned out the mistake was the copy of the wrong url. So, instead of copying the url provided by github, Erel copied the url in the navigation bar. The solution was to change the repository address to https://github.com/rothariel/aimnegochat.git

For users of EGit/Eclipse who get the same error when clone from Visual Studio Online, be careful the repo URL is not: - https://[alt-name].visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/[your_repo]

the correct one is: - https://[alt-name].visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/_git/[your_repo]

I had this message before service=git-upload-pack not found

Seems the gitlab user & password I used for that git was wrong. I changed it to the right one and it worked just fine.
