Sometime repo are connecting and sometime i am getting following issue Error: “/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/git” reported error code “128” when it ended: fatal: could not read Password for 'https://[email protected]': No such device or address

I have added SSH keys to cPanel

Then you should use an SSH URL (git@server:user/repo), not an HTTPS one (which starts with https://...)

See "Guide to Git - Set Up Access to Private Repositories" from the CPanel Knowledge Base.

git clone [email protected]:MyStuff/private-repository.git

You can see here a typical BitBucket SSH URL:

[email protected]:<account_name>/<repo_name>.git
# or
ssh://[email protected]/<account_name>/<repo_name>.git

Note: the username for a BitBucket repo is always git.
