Error Handling

  • Failing to clone the repository may be caused by network issues. In this case, run the git clone https://github.com/jupyterlab/extension-examples.git command on the Terminal page to test the network connectivity.
  • If the repository already exists in the current directory of the notebook instance, the system displays a message indicating that the repository name already exists. In this case, you can overwrite the existing repository or click to cancel the cloning.
