Let me explain it first.  
We are currently on the nutmeg version. Then, we experienced an issue in `tutor image build openedx`.  
The solution to this problem was explained here:  
[Please update your git URLs for edx-platform and several other repos - Announcements - Open edX discussions](https://discuss.openedx.org/t/please-update-your-git-urls-for-edx-platform-and-several-other-repos/12387/2)

However, we are taking too much time in performing this fix, so we considered upgrading instead.  
Upon upgrading from nutmeg to olive and olive to palm, we experienced an error on running the `tutor local launch` command.

```auto

```

It occurred at the point

UPDATE: Regarding this issue, I managed to bypass this by continuing on upgrading from nutmeg to olive, then olive to palm. However, I experienced another issue.

Here’s the commands I ran (since our version is on binary release, I did it like this):

```auto
# from nutmeg to olive
tutor local stop
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/overhangio/tutor/releases/download/v15.3.7/tutor-$(uname -s)_$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/tutor
sudo chmod 0755 /usr/local/bin/tutor
tutor --version

tutor config save
tutor local upgrade --from=nutmeg
tutor local launch

# we have custom overrides on our platform so we removed it for a while
rm -rf $(tutor config printroot)/env/local/docker-compose.override.yml

# from olive to palm
tutor local stop
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/overhangio/tutor/releases/download/v16.0.0/tutor-$(uname -s)_$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/tutor
sudo chmod 0755 /usr/local/bin/tutor
tutor --version

```

AT THIS POINT, I cannot run

```auto
tutor config save
tutor images build all
tutor local upgrade --from=olive
tutor local launch

```

because it says an error something about docker or something. I fixed it by applying these [Upgrading tutor to Palm - Site Operators / Tutor Help - Open edX discussions](https://discuss.openedx.org/t/upgrading-tutor-to-palm/10194/18). HOWEVER! Upon running  
`tutor images build all`, I encountered this error:

```auto
Step 11/288 : ADD https://api.github.com/repos/openedx/frontend-app-authn/git/refs/tags/open-release/palm.4 /tmp/gitref-authn

Error: Command failed with status 1: docker build --tag=docker.io/overhangio/openedx-orders-dev:16.1.2 --target=orders-dev /home/ubuntu/.local/share/tutor/env/plugins/mfe/build/mfe

```

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME?

That last error just seems to be a rate limit issue from the process accessing git too fast. Maybe just try again after it was left alone for an hour or so? (Since it says the rate limit is 60 requests per hour.)
