Hi, I've set up node-red on my Windows machine and am now trying to clone my GitHub repositories using the projects feature. The issue I'm getting is that if I try to use the "[git@github.com](mailto:git@github.com):username/repo" URL I'm getting an Authentication failed error - I've checked all my SSH Keys, and I've made sure I added them to the SSH agent. If I try and use the "[https://github.com/user/repo](https://github.com/user/repo)" URL it gives me a loading icon for a while, and then gives me an entirely blank project with no files. I also can't seem to delete the folders it creates.

Anyone had any similar issues on Windows?

Thanks,  
Gregor

Hi Gregor,

Did you find a solution to your problem?

I use Windows and am having the same problem. 😕

Best regards,
