I have created a project (ID: imagetest1-259203) within an organization. I successfully created a repository using 

gcloud source repos create repo1

but when I tried to clone this to my PC using 

gcloud source repos clone repo1

I get the following issue. (Note: I already have enabled "Cloud Source Repositories API")

Cloning into 'D:\AppEngineTests\repo1'...
remote: PERMISSION_DENIED: The caller does not have permission
remote: [type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.RequestInfo]
remote: request_id: "2e79f3c507f14b3190d7a5941bed3e5f"

But when I cloned to Cloud Shell using the same set of commands, it succeeded.

The issue was gone, when I used PowerShell (previously used command prompt) and then run 'git config --global http.cookiefile "%USERPROFILE%\.gitcookies" and run 'gcloud source repos clone repo1'. I wonder why it is gone by doing this. – Praboda

In order to clone the contents of a Google Cloud Repository you need:

  • authentication on your local system

  • a repository in Cloud Source Repositories

  • permissions to interact with the repository link

I suspect you have issues with permissions.

You have to install Cloud SDK.

Provide your authentication credentials:

gcloud init

and then clone the repository: 

gcloud source repos clone [REPO_NAME] --project=[PROJECT_NAME]

I had this issue for months, I was using two different accounts, personal & work. It worked on one PC, but not another PC.

FIX: Rename or delete this file: %USERPROFILE%_netrc

I tried:

  • gcloud auth revoke + then gcloud auth init
  • Renamed .gitconfig
  • Renamed .gitcookies
  • Deleted %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\gcloud
  • Deleted creds from Windows Credential Manager with 'git' Eventually ran procmon to trace which files it was reading.
  • Renamed _netrc to _netrc.backup Command then worked. Undid rename and tested again, returned error message once again.
