Unable to import the source control

[Gajanan3]

Hi Team,

I am trying to importing an application from source control. I am following the steps provided in the learning steps. I have created an id on the github site and sharing the user name as email address and password which i defined. But I am getting below error :

checksum.txt either is missing or contains an invalid checksum. Ensure your repository contains a valid, unmodified source image exported by an instance

Can somebody assist me how to fix this error and complete the application import from the different sources.

Regards,

Gajanand

Sounds like maybe there is something wrong with that repo? Could you link to the steps you're following? If you're doing a course on the developer portal and running into issues you might also try using the feedback link in the header to get help.

Hi Brand,

Thank you for your response on this. 

Yes I was facing this issue by referring the course provided in Developer Studio. During that time, I was unable to import source control. I skipped that topic and moved to next. After 2-3 topic again there was one case where I need to connect to github repository and import the application from github repository.  During second time it worked properly.

For anyone reading this in or after 2022, Github has largely deprecated both Basic Auth, and SSH keys using RSA. 
I just wrote an article on how to get around this, here.The article is about how to change your application repository, but it also covers how to do the authentication into Github at the top.
