Clone GIT from SAMBA network share

Question

Has anybody successfully cloned GIT repository to Ubuntu from a SAMBA network share?

I have access over file manager and can ls over command line, but cannot clone

Also, in git cola, qgit and gitg I cannot see mounted SAMBA network share.

what error are you getting trying to clone of the git repository, and what's the command you're running? — jelmer, Feb 24 '14 at 21:06

Use this manual (section 'Connecting using CIFS') to mount remote repository: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba/SambaClientGuide

sudo mount -t cifs //IP_ADDRESS/git/repo.git ~/git/mnt/repo.git -o username=samba_user,noexec

Then,

git clone ~/git/mnt/repo.git/

Another way to do this would be to clone gvfs user-mounts

git clone /run/user/<username>/gvfs/path_to_repo/repo.git

This avoids mounting issues

With samba, I could do it by directly by accessing the samba project files from the local. Did not need to clone the repo. – maan81 Aug 13 '17 at 05:33

Worked fine for me, but later I failed to push. – Mefitico Aug 12 '20 at 18:53
