So found out there’s no automated way of doing that but you can do it manually. A great post here will step you through that, it’s towards the end. http://macoscope.com/blog/simplify-your-life-with-fastlane-match/

I was seeing the same error as well. My problem was I never encrypted the certificates and provisioning profile and added them straight into my repo. When running “match appstore” it would try to clone the repo and immediately prompt me for a password. Obviously this password did not exist. I then tried “match change_password” in the hopes of initiating that step but it would check my keychain for an existing match password that also did not exist.

What ended up working was cleaning out the repo and running “match appstore”

This then created a new certificate and new provisioning profile, downloaded, installed, encrypted etc… and everything worked as expected.

The problem is I just now duplicated a certificate and provisioning profile. Is there a method in match where I can seed my git repo with existing certs and profiles?
