I am facing same error on `vagrant provision`

@Bhaskar rao 

It seemed like some inconsistency with the setup or network.

Try either destroying machine and resetting it up or upgrade your network speed.

It worked for me; i did reboot my system too before destroying and restarting vagrant machine setup so i am guessing it either freed some memory or network consumption that helped resolving this issue.

Thanks,

You can follow these steps for it fixing.

- vagrant ssh

- cd /edx/app/ecommerce/ecommerce/

- git init

- git remote set-url origin https://github.com/edx/ecommerce.git

The default setup is making something unexpected and showing that ecommerce is not a GIT repository. SO, what we did first make it a git repository by git init in vagrant /edx/app/ecommerce/ecommerce/ folder and just pull the latest edx ecommerce app code. Then run your normal vagrant provision. This issue will be fixed.

Happy Coding.

I think, we just need to set remote in ecommerce app without pulling data. Rest of the part could be done by running "vagrant provision". i did the same and it works.

I faced the same issue. One of the causes of this issue might be internet inconsistency as @wjia mentioned.
If you're sure your internet is working fine, then try the following on your host:

cd ~/solutions/ecommerce/
git init
git remote add origin https://github.com/edx/ecommerce
git pull

then run ' vagrant provision ' again.

After more than a couple dozen tries after increasing my bandwidth, This solved the issue for me.

Thanks,
