Answer 1

Try to run the Git application as an administrator (right-click-> Run as administrator) if its Windows. It worked for me.

Answer 2

This was a problem with the version of Git installed on my system. I used an older version of Git.

If someone is facing the same problem, try updating your Git installation to the latest version. This solved my problem.

Answer 3

Launch Git Bash as an administrator and do the cloning directly. I had the same problem and the above solution worked for me.

Answer 4

I also get the same error, your error is resolved.
