@brcontainer apologies for the delay in replying
Can you clarify how this is being cloned? Using the regular clone URL? Or doing it via the command line and adding the folder to the repository? |

@j-f1 exactly, this will probably cause problems with non-github repositories too. |

@brcontainer thanks for the extra details. I was able to reproduce this. I think there's two different problems here:

Any word on this? I just ran into the same thing. Cheers. |

Any news on when this will be fixed? |

This is still a persistent issue for me; only solution is periodically deleting local repo and re-cloning (clearly not a sustainable solution). |

same as @olange |
|
The same goes for the GitHub Desktop 1.3.2 version. |

I can push and pull under terminal meaning this is not a core issue. |

I can reproduce this issue in Github Desktop 1.3.3 for Macos. Command line |

This only seems to be happening with wikis. The repos work just fine. Still happening as of 8/31. On Version 1.3.4 for Windows. |
|
Still happening for me too, version 1.3.4 for windows. |

Happens on Version 1.4.0 for macOS too. (SSH + 2-factor auth) The GitHub Desktop gives me a message below but nothing happens when pushed.
Though the local repo seems to be up to date. $ git pull origin
Already up to date.

Add comment 2018/09/14: Looking at the log, it seems that it's trying to get "issues" from Wiki's repo and since then stops working to fetch/push. Also this seems to happen after I turned the Two-factor authentication enabled. $ git push origin master
remote: Invalid username or password.

same issue here - don't want to move to another application etc... any hope this will be fixed? |
|
Same issue as @Rauschii and others above for me in GitHub Desktop v2.9.3 (x64) "Can't find repository matching {myorg}/{myrepo}.wiki.git" And yet I can clone using command line git using the same. |
|
sad that this has been in backlog for 4 years |
|
Fails for me when trying to clone an enterprise GitHub wiki too. I was shocked to find that this has been a known issue for 4 years. If I was able to upload (or drag-and-drop) images to the web UI wiki, I wouldn't need to clone the wiki in the first place. I'm shocked that adding images to a wiki is so hard. It's like GitHub doesn't want us to use their wiki function. I can upload images easily to this comment, but not a wiki editor. |
|
Any chance this bug could get upgraded to a higher priority level? It is one of the top 10 most commented on open issues in this repo. And the wiki feature is difficult to use without this fix. @shiftkey @tierninho @billygriffin |
|
Does it really matter considering we're all about to get murdered in state-funded holocaust? |
|
Yes; we may as well go out swinging. +1 to issue importance. |
|
It's an important function for us, hope can fix it ASAP. |
|
+1 to fix this one. Can anyone comment on the current work around? If we clone using the command line can we then still use gitdesktop to fetch changes? |
|
I got this same issue, my solution was to log out/log in my GitHub user, and the problem was solved, not sure if may work for everybody. |
|
Gah, just encountered this myself :( I can't clone the wiki using Github Desktop, and if I clone it with the command line, I can't push any changes back either. Tried with all sorts of combinations of /wiki .wiki etc. |

Please fix this. Or, at the least, provide a way to backup the wiki from Github Desktop or the web interface. |

It would be nice to be able to use Github Desktop to work with a repo's wiki directly. I hope this is addressed at some point. |

GitHub Desktop version 3.2.9 (x64) , git version 2.41.0.windows.2 (64-bit), Windows 11 Home 22H2 OS build 22621.2283. Still reporting an error when attempting to clone a WIKI.
The Address being used in both was copied directly from the GitHub WIKI page using the button "Clone this wiki locally". |

Can anyone solve this? |

I come here to say that it's still broken |

Couldn't the repos for which GH API doesn't return the needed values be
treated as classic git repos in the client? Or maybe shim it by checking
the .wiki.git bit and make that fall back to "plain" git operations,
disabling all the PR/issue/meta features and just allow a vanilla git
access?

I found to be stable by treating the wiki repo as an external git service, such like gitlab/gitea/etc. Meaning. Taking the same way to fork the gitlab/gitea repos to GitHub. Let's pretend that I have a GitHub repo (KEINOS/wiki-test) which contains a wiki (KEINOS/wiki-test.wiki). Here are the steps I took:
As soon as the commit is merged, you'll see that the committed changes reflects both the working repo and the original wiki. Hope this helps for somebody. 🤞 My env and config info tesed$ date -R
