git pull error "The requested URL returned error: 503 while accessing"

bitbucket, git, github

Solution

Had the same error while using SourceTree connected to BitBucket repository.

When navigating to repository url on bitbucket.org the warning message appeared:

This repository is in read-only mode. You caught us doing some quick maintenance.

After around 2 hours repository was accessible again.

You can check status and uptime of bitbucket here: http://status.bitbucket.org/

Problem

I've been facing problems accessing my git repository lately. It worked perfectly fine earlier but now I cannot run any command on CLI. I can however, access the corresponding Web Page, Could someone help me how to resolve this issue?
