Port 9418's blocked by the firewall, so I'm trying via http: $ git clone http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git Initialized empty Git repository in /home/akilroy/workspace/git/.git/ Cannot get remote repository information. Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there? Is there a problem at the server? I've tried this before using an old version of git, and that worked (1.4.4.4 I think). Thanks, Andy ``` ## Johannes Schindelin, 2007-03-08 17:29 Subject: Re: attempting to clone the git repo Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/Pine.LNX.4.63.0703081828500.22628%40wbgn013.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de In-Reply-To: <2fb03ecb0703080849m41ac8158y4895f2bc811934f5@mail.gmail.com> ``` Hi, On Thu, 8 Mar 2007, Andrew Kilroy wrote: > I'm attempting to clone the git repository using git-1.5.0.3 in my workplace. > Port 9418's blocked by the firewall, so I'm trying via http: > > $ git clone http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git Add a "/" to the end: $ git clone http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/ Hth, Dscho ``` ## Johannes Schindelin, 2007-03-08 17:33 Subject: Re: attempting to clone the git repo Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/Pine.LNX.4.63.0703081833020.22628%40wbgn013.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de In-Reply-To: ``` Hi, On Thu, 8 Mar 2007, Johannes Schindelin wrote: > On Thu, 8 Mar 2007, Andrew Kilroy wrote: > > > I'm attempting to clone the git repository using git-1.5.0.3 in my workplace. > > Port 9418's blocked by the firewall, so I'm trying via http: > > > > $ git clone http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git > > Add a "/" to the end: > > $ git clone http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/ Sorry. After trying: this does no longer work. Evidently, something changed (gitweb says http://git.kernel.org//git/git.git (sic!) is correct now, but it is not). Sorry again, Dscho ``` ## Junio C Hamano, 2007-03-08 18:40 Subject: Re: attempting to clone the git repo Message-ID: <7v649ba89l.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/7v649ba89l.fsf%40assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net In-Reply-To: ``` Johannes Schindelin writes: > On Thu, 8 Mar 2007, Andrew Kilroy wrote: > >> I'm attempting to clone the git repository using git-1.5.0.3 in my workplace. >> Port 9418's blocked by the firewall, so I'm trying via http: >> >> $ git clone http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git > > Add a "/" to the end: > > $ git clone http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/ I've always thought that for http transfer the hostname was not git.kernel.org but www.kernel.org, as in: git clone http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/ ``` ## Andrew Kilroy, 2007-03-09 09:51 Subject: Re: attempting to clone the git repo Message-ID: <2fb03ecb0703090151j10842263off743be1f86bf9c3@mail.gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/2fb03ecb0703090151j10842263off743be1f86bf9c3%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <7v649ba89l.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net> ``` On 08/03/07, Junio C Hamano wrote: > I've always thought that for http transfer the hostname was not > git.kernel.org but www.kernel.org, as in: > > git clone http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/ > That worked, thanks. I thought there were more branches though (pu, todo...). I can only see master via 'git branch'. I'm not that familiar with git yet, so I might be missing something obvious here.
