private-bower Confusing error message

Hello, when git repository missing bower.json file then error should different then something about read access. I spend a lot of time for this. Do you think you can change it? Thanks. ( Failed to load package details! (Your private-bower server needs read access to this Git repository!) )

I am also having the same issues. We are using bitbucket and I can clone a repo fine from the server. Also if I add a public repo i get all the info. So I guess it is a Issue with the permissions. Can you please explain how to authenticate private bower with my bitbucket account?

Thanks, Vince

In my case it was caused by missing file bower.json. I setup permission by public deploy key

Brunowego: I didn't have problem with access rights. It was caused by missing bower.json file

VStoltzenberg: You are welcome.
