The repo "https://github.com/netbox-community/devicetype-library.git" is not a valid git repo.

I Followed the instruction to clone, config .env and run the ./nb-dt-import.py but getting this error.

Note that I don't have net issue and I can git clone https://github.com/netbox-community/devicetype-library.git without any issues

I also tried to create empty repo folder manually and run the command but getting the below error:

Package devicetype-library is already installed, updating /opt/Device-Type-Library-Import/repo
An unknown error occurred: "Git Repository Error"

Thanks a lot problem solved.

kindly update the README if possible to reflect the same for new users.

I have the same problem but removing the GitInvalidRepositoryError line does not solve my problem.
any idea what is the main reason of this issue?

[Azmodeszer]

Same here...

[Azmodeszer]

Any news?

[Azmodeszer]

Yes, that was suggested earlier in this issue, but removing it does not work for me.

[mhdan]

In my case the problem was that cloning the repo does take lots of time and the main reason was it.
I solved the problem by manually downloading the repo and unzipping it to the required path.

The timeout is caught and prints the wrong error and it confuses people.

Had same here, but after installed on a fresh ubuntu "as-is" I don't have the problem on the fresh one; even if the https://github.com/netbox-community/devicetype-library.git is specified in the .env file
