I'm using a plugin manager Vim Plug and I'm trying to install YouCompleteMe but I keep on getting this error and I don't know what to do with this. I use VIm8

x YouCompleteMe:
    Cloning into '/home/adib/.vim/plugged/YouCompleteMe'...
    
    
    fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
    
    Please make sure you have the correct access rights
    and the repository exists.

    Welcome to Vi and Vim! Can you check whether the directories have the correct permissions? Try ls -ld ~/.vim, then ls -ld ~/.vim/plugged, and so on for all directories in the path. Also interesting is find ~/.vim ! -user adib -ls. Please edit the question to post the answers to these follow up questions.

The mistake in my case was that in my ~/.gitconfig file, instead of having Git clone through https it would rewrite all clone request to ssh. I simply commented out the following lines to allow Git to clone through https again and to prevent it from rewriting.

#[url "ssh://[email protected]/"]
#  insteadOf = https://github.com/
#[url "ssh://[email protected]/"]
#  insteadOf = https://gitlab.com/
#[url "ssh://g[email protected]/"]
#  insteadOf = https://bitbucket.org/
