error with installing chainlink-brownie-contracts

[HussamX98]

so I've been trying to run the $ forge install smartcontractkit/chainlink-brownie-contracts@0.6.1 --no-commit however for some reason it is returning this: Installing chainlink-brownie-contracts in C:/Users/alsal/foundry-simple-storage-f23/foundry-fund-me-f23/foundry-smart-contract-lottery-f23/foundry-erc20-f23/foundry-nft-f23/foundry-defi-stablecoin-f23/lib\chainlink-brownie-contracts (url: Some("https://github.com/smartcontractkit/chainlink-brownie-contracts"), tag: Some("0.6.1"))

try to reinstall git
or you don't have access to this dic from terminal

[cryptjohel]

now to solve this issue you have to use ``` forge install --no-git smartcontractkit/chainlink-brownie-contracts@0.8.0

after doing this try redoing it because of the internet connection. So it will then work perfectly 

forge install: Initiates the installation of dependencies.
--no-git: Specifies that the dependency should be installed without adding it as a Git submodule. This means the dependency will be downloaded and included in your project directly, rather than as a Git submodule.
smartcontractkit/chainlink-brownie-contracts: The GitHub repository or URL of the dependency you want to install.
@0.8.0: The version or commit reference of the dependency you want to install. In this case, version 0.8.0 is specified.
The --no-git option is particularly useful when you want to include the code of a dependency in your project directly without maintaining it as a Git submodule. Git submodules are separate Git repositories within your main repository, and they are often used to track external dependencies.

Using --no-git allows you to treat the dependency as part of your project's source code, and you won't need to separately manage it as a submodule. This can be beneficial when you don't need the advanced submodule features and prefer a simpler inclusion of the dependency's code in your project.

I use ```--no-git``` so to not install them as a submodule so it actually worked trying it for about 3 times and it worked perfectly due to network issues. Which means sometime network can actually cause a lot regarding installation of some dependencies

What did work however, was first, creating a GitHub account, and generating an SSH key from the terminal in your coding software with your associated email. Once generated, enter the following command (if using WSL) into your terminal to copy the public key to your clipboard: clip.exe < ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub You should then go into settings on GitHub, click on "New SSH key" and paste the contents of the public key into the key field. From there you can test your authentication with the following command in your terminal: ssh -T ***@***.*** If done correctly you should receive a message that you've "successfully authenticated but GitHub does not provide Shell access." You can then use the SSH URL to complete the process instead of the HTTPS URL for obtaining the files. Within your terminal, enter the following command: git clone ***@***.*** :smartcontractkit/chainlink-brownie-contracts.git Worked for me, hope it works for you, best of luck in your coding endeavors. — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub <#1379 (comment)>, or unsubscribe <https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/BEHRX5QJJCRKZIINCR7NYVLYXNXIHAVCNFSM6AAAAABCZBMECOVHI2DSMVQWIX3LMV43OSLTON2WKQ3PNVWWK3TUHMYTSOBWHE3TANBRHE> .

I also could not get the exact command from the video to work, but using the full url worked for me:

forge install https://github.com/smartcontractkit/chainlink-brownie-contracts@0.8.0 --no-commit

[matheusluciano99]

use this "git config --system core.longpaths true" before running the command you were trying

Going to close this, sorry on our delay. Let us know if you're still having issues.
