Clone with a Difference

This challenge focused on obtaining a git repository through an alternate means. Specifically changing from SSH to HTTPS.

Note

We just need you to clone one repo: git clone git@haugfactory.com:asnowball/aws_scripts.git This should be easy, right?

Thing is: it doesn't seem to be working for me. This is a public repository though. I'm so confused!

Please clone the repo and cat the README.md file. Then runtoanswer and tell us the last word of the README.md file!

Simple enough?

bow@36e18804bfd6:~$ git clone git@haugfactory.com:asnowball/aws_scripts.git
Cloning into 'aws_scripts'...
The authenticity of host 'haugfactory.com (34.171.230.38)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:CqJXHictW5q0bjAZOknUyA2zzRgSEJLmdMo4nPj5Tmw.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? yes
Warning: Permanently added 'haugfactory.com,34.171.230.38' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.
git@haugfactory.com: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

SSH isn't configured properly. So I'll use HTTP instead.

Answer: git clone http://haugfactory.com/asnowball/aws_scripts.git

At that point I can cd into the newly-created aws_scripts directory and run cat README.md.

It gives me a long markdown file, where the last word in the doc is maintainers.

I can then type runtoanswer and enter the word in to finish the challenge!

Note that even though it ends with a period, adding the period to the end would be an incorrect answer. Ask me how I know!
