Getting fatal: repository 'https://github.com/laravel/nova.git/' not found on composer install

[petethewizard]

• Laravel Version: ^8.54
• Nova Version: ~3.0
• PHP Version: 8.0.16
• Database Driver & Version:
• Operating System and Version: Windows 10
• Composer: 2.2.4

Description:

Getting:

` [RuntimeException]
Failed to execute git clone --mirror -- 'https://ghp...5iF:[email protected]/laravel/nova.git' '/home/petar/.cache/composer/vcs/gi
t-github.com-laravel-nova.git/'

Cloning into bare repository '/home/petar/.cache/composer/vcs/git-github.com-laravel-nova.git'...

last time I tried this it worked perfectly on Linux but on a fresh copy of the repo on Windows 10 it doesn't. Any ideas?

I've looked at various threads about this online but nothing helped.

You should use --prefer-dist during installation.

If you already has composer.lock pointing to github/laravel/nova.git then you need to remove composer.lock and vendor folder. And run composer install --prefer-dist again.

I still get the same error. @crynobone

[crynobone]

Can you show me your composer.json file?

Unable to reproduce on Windows 10. As I said before composer.lock needs to point to correct dist in order to use private package repository download properly.

@crynobone I tried deleting composer.lock and doing composer install after but it did not work.

I had this issue and deleting composer.lock was not enough to resolve it. You must delete both composer.lock, and vendor/ folder before running composer install --prefer-dist
