I am trying to git clone a repo off of bitbucket. I use git clone {https} temp. This gives me an error of refs not found. The https address is the one I get off of bitbucket, but the one they provide uses hg instead of git. Why is this happening?

    It sounds like you're trying to clone an hg repo with git. You can't do that directly, though there might be some way if you search. Commented May 20, 2015 at 15:31
  • Who is they? Github surely only uses git. Which hg-address have you been provided? Commented Jun 1, 2022 at 5:51
  • I see, that's an old question. Any progress? Commented Jun 1, 2022 at 7:29

@Qudit is right - you need hg to clone a mercurial repo, and git to clone a git repo. There are gateways to transmute one to another, but those are set up usually at the repository site. Solution: use mercurial.

Install hgsvn, then do this

hg clone https://bitbucket.org/"channel"/dotfiles/src dotfiles

Where channel is the users files you want to clone.
