Clone Repository from GitHub fails - error shown: Clone Failed repository <repository_url> not found

Problem

Users encounter a 'clone failed' error when trying to clone a GitHub repository using IDE. The error message is shown: Clone Failed - repository <repository_url> not found.

Cause

The issue appears to involve authorization requirements, particularly with repositories belonging to GitHub Organizations. Permissions from the organization administrator are necessary for IDE integrations to access specific repositories.

Resolution

1. Verify that the URL used for cloning is correct.
2. Ensure that proper authentication is in place. When prompted, log in to GitHub through the IDE and authorize the action.
3. For repositories belonging to GitHub Organizations, ensure that the administrator has granted the necessary permissions for the integration (refer to GitHub's documentation on requesting organization approval for OAuth apps).
