Solution 1 : Install Python-3

Problem is might be difference between your repo python version and my system python version. my repo in python 2 and my system using python 3 version. That’s why I am facing this error.

So, Possible Solution is to update my repo’s Python version to Python 3. This Solution Was Worked For Me.

Solution 2 : Try Below Command Line.

Try this Given Command.

curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo-1 > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
python3 ~/bin/repo init -u git@....

This Command Might Solve your issue.

Solution 3 : Check Both System Python Version

Solution is…. you have to check your repo python version and Your system where you want to clone your code.

Just make sure you have to make sure both version must be same. So Your issue will be solve. here is github issue.

Solution 4 : Download Latest Repo and follow Below Command

• Download last version of repo : curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo-1 > repo

• Run your repo init with python3 and the “repo” you just download : python3 repo init -u git@github.com:xxx/xx_manifest.git -b xxx

Solution 5 : Change Below Lines

Just Modify the first line of /usr/bin/repo and change it from

#!/usr/bin/python

This asks the system to use Python3 instead of the default Python. This Solution Is Worked For Me. Comment below if its work for you too.
