This error can lead to confusion, so let’s understand what it means and how to resolve it.

Understanding the submit50 Command

The submit50 command is specifically designed to submit your CS50 labs to the appropriate repositories on GitHub. However, it’s essential to ensure that you are using the command correctly. Here’s what you should consider:

1. Cloning vs. Submitting

A crucial point to keep in mind is that cloning a repository is different from submitting your work. The command you’re using attempts to clone a folder within a repository instead of the actual repository itself.

2. Valid Repository URLs

The error you’re encountering typically arises from using an incorrect URL format for the repository you are trying to clone. The correct format should be:

To diagnose the issue, begin by checking the remote URL set for your Git repository. You can do this using the following command in your terminal:

Experiencing issues with submit50 can be frustrating, especially when you’re trying to submit your hard work. By understanding the difference between cloning and submitting, checking your remote repository URL, and correcting it when necessary, you can easily resolve these errors.

Remember, if you’re ever in doubt, don’t hesitate to refer to GitHub support resources or seek help from your peers and instructors. Happy coding!
