I am not being able to upload images using the image button, and so the image goes as a comment !
You are trying to clone a private repo but your user account you provided doesn't have access to the repo would be my guess.

How to give my user account the access ?
If you are the repo owner add your SSH key to the project and your account. If you aren't, ask the maintainer to add it.
okay.
Thanks:)))
Which command did you use? Have you added the public key on github?
Also, we cannot help you if you don't answer our questions.
Thanks :)))
This is the command that fetched that result.
i have added the ssh key on github. What do you mean by command ?
You're using a terminal. You typed a command. What is this command?
git clone git@github.com:USER-NAME/REPOSITORY-NAME.git
As in you literally entered that exact text?
You’re supposed to replace USER-NAME with your username and REPOSITORY-NAME with a repository name. They’re just placeholders.
I realised my mistake. My problem has been solved.
Ah yes, the infamous 9 5s of github availability.
