@Michael Due to this error it’s not cloning it. Below is the architecture in which I am deploying the Workbench. Two Workbench instances, one central GIT repo and One central Maven Repo (Details as below) My architecture for Drools deployment is we will deploy two Drools Workbench instances. We will create one central GIT repository, REPO-A.git, which will be cloned by both the instances, REPO-A-Cloned-1, REPO-A-Cloned-2. If any file is committed in instance A, REPO-A-Cloned-1, should also appear in instance B, REPO-A-Cloned-2, and that asset should also appear in central repo, REPO-A.

The remote origin error message is thrown by the underlying jgit library we use. Any repository that is cloned is considered a "remote" in git terms. The fact that it's on your local machine makes no difference in git terms.
