The commend retrun the page is not exists.:

git clone https://github.com/Bioconductor/REPO
Initialized empty Git repository in /opt/REPO/.git/
error: The requested URL returned error: 403 Forbidden while accessing https://github.com/Bioconductor/REPO/info/refs

Do you have idea?

Hi @nrineau ,

Presumably, the text you're reading is meant to be an example. So, rather than using :

git clone https://github.com/Bioconductor-mirror/REPO
or 
git clone https://github.com/Bioconductor/REPO

You should point to an actual package :

git clone https://github.com/Bioconductor-mirror/BiocParallel.git
or
git clone https://github.com/Bioconductor/BiocParallel.git

Can you tell me where you found that text? Hopefully we can add some clarification to the text.

@b-long likely it was https://github.com/Bioconductor/bioconductor.org/content/developers/how-to/git-mirrors.md#scenario-1-use-git-locally-no-github-repository
