Arch unable to clone repo for installation: [RESOLVED]

I am trying to install adw-gtk theme from aur, and I am getting this:

Tried looking into aur but unable to find relevent info quicky, could anyone please drop some useful links? or possible some known solutions if any.

Thanks for your time.

Re: Arch unable to clone repo for installation: [RESOLVED]

/home/braindotai/.cache/paru/clone/adw-gtk3/adw-gtk3 is not a clone of https://github.com/lassekongo83/adw-gtk3.git

There is something in that folder (possibly a clone of another adw-gtk3 fork) , but it doesn't match what makepkg expects .
just delete /home/braindotai/.cache/paru/clone/adw-gtk3/ and it's contents so paru/makepkg have to redownload the repo .

Thanks for the suggestion @Lone_Wolf. I did as you suggested, still getting same error. I tried deleting whole paru cache folder just in case, no change.
It is able to clone the buyt still showing error as below:

Re: Arch unable to clone repo for installation: [RESOLVED]

cat /home/braindotai/.cache/paru/clone/adw-gtk3/adw-gtk3/.git/config

Does this work if you use the AUR as the great taco intended? (Ie. clone the AUR repo and run makpkg inside)?

A little new to the great taco , I couldn't find PKGBUILD in the repo:

├── CONTRIBUTING.md
├── gitpush.sh
├── gtk
├── gtk4.md
├── LICENSE
├── meson.build
├── meson_options.txt
├── preview-customized.png
├── preview-dark.png
├── preview-light.png
├── README.md
└── version

I did install by following README and gtk4.md ... (adw-gtk3,4/libadwaita) but still on the gnome-tweaks I am not seeing any the themes which I installed as per the guidelines.

Just to mention that I did installed this through pacman without any flaw previously, after few weeks it stopped upgrading giving me same error which I mentioned earlier, so I thought clean installing the package would help, but after the uninstall now I unable to even install with same error as before.

Re: Arch unable to clone repo for installation: [RESOLVED]

You're trying to build https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/adw-gtk3
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/adw-gtk3.git
cd adw-gtk3
makepkg -i

And that's not the content of a .git/config - looks more like the tail of "tree"

Thanks for helping a noob out. I got my solutions!

Just curious though, any parting thoughts on why I am the that error when installed through pacman? (I am using paru)

Re: Arch unable to clone repo for installation: [RESOLVED]

You're not "installing through pacman", paru is a pacman wrapper that blends repos and AUR.
It's what's trying to build the AUR package for you (ie. what the clone/makpkg does, but in a more convoluted sophisticated elaborate way.

I've no idea why it failed there, that's why I asked for the git config of what paru might or not have cloned there.
Next to the 2nd link I posted, please also familarize yourself with https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_helpers

And please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
