Why is my NPM repository not working on Ubuntu?
Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. On the other hand, there's no error on this fork (repo name has been changed): I've tried this with all NPM versions on Windows, also tried this on Ubuntu server with same results.
Can a remote repository be on your local machine?
Remote repositories can be on your local machine. It is entirely possible that you can be working with a “remote” repository that is, in fact, on the same host you are. The word “remote” does not necessarily imply that the repository is somewhere else on the network or Internet, only that it is elsewhere.
What is remote repositories?
Remote repositories are versions of your project that are hosted on the Internet or network somewhere. You can have several of them, each of which generally is either read-only or read/write for you. Collaborating with others involves managing these remote repositories and pushing and pulling data to and from them when you need to share work. ...
How to merge a remote branch into a local branch?
If your current branch is set up to track a remote branch (see the next section and Git Branching for more information), you can use the git pull command to automatically fetch and then merge that remote branch into your current branch. This may be an easier or more comfortable workflow for you; and by default, the git clone command automatically sets up your local master branch to track the remote master branch (or whatever the default branch is called) on the server you cloned from. Running git pull generally fetches data from the server you originally cloned from and automatically tries to merge it into the code you’re currently working on.
What does git fetch origin do?
So, git fetch origin fetches any new work that has been pushed to that server since you cloned (or last fetched from) it. It’s important to note that the git fetch command only downloads the data to your local repository — it doesn’t automatically merge it with any of your work or modify what you’re currently working on. You have to merge it manually into your work when you’re ready.
How to see which remote servers you have configured?
To see which remote servers you have configured, you can run the git remote command. It lists the shortnames of each remote handle you’ve specified. If you’ve cloned your repository, you should at least see origin — that is the default name Git gives to the server you cloned from:
What does git pull do?
Running git pull generally fetches data from the server you originally cloned from and automatically tries to merge it into the code you’re currently working on. From git version 2.27 onward, git pull will give a warning if the pull.rebase variable is not set. Git will keep warning you until you set the variable.
How to see more information about a remote?
If you want to see more information about a particular remote, you can use the git remote show <remote> command. If you run this command with a particular shortname, such as origin, you get something like this:
How to push a project to the origin server?
When you have your project at a point that you want to share, you have to push it upstream. The command for this is simple: git push <remote> <branch> . If you want to push your master branch to your origin server (again, cloning generally sets up both of those names for you automatically), then you can run this to push any commits you’ve done back up to the server:

Step 0: Install prerequisites for git-remote-codecommit
Before you can use git-remote-codecommit, you must install some prerequisites on your local computer. These include:
Step 1: Initial configuration for CodeCommit
Follow these steps to create an IAM user, configure it with the appropriate policies, obtain an access key and secret key, and install and configure the AWS CLI.
Step 3: Connect to the CodeCommit console and clone the repository
If an administrator has already sent you the clone URL to use with git-remote-codecommit for the CodeCommit repository, you can skip connecting to the console and clone the repository directly.
Next steps
You have completed the prerequisites. Follow the steps in Getting started with CodeCommit to start using CodeCommit.
