Cannot clone from git.gnome.org

I am working on an Ubuntu OS. I have tried cloning several repositories from git.gnome.org such as this -

git clone git://git.gnome.org/newcomers-tutorial Cloning into 'newcomers-tutorial'... fatal: unable to connect to git.gnome.org: git.gnome.org[0: 209.132.180.184]: errno=Connection timed out

And even tried with http:// -

git clone http://git.gnome.org/newcomers-tutorial Cloning into 'newcomers-tutorial'... fatal: http://git.gnome.org/newcomers-tutorial/info/refs not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?

whereas if i clone any other repo from github it is successfully cloned. Such as -

git clone https://github.com/arduino/Arduino.git Cloning into 'Arduino'... remote: Counting objects: 53558, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (617/617), done. ^Cceiving objects: 11% (5996/53558), 23.67 MiB | 1.41 MiB/s

I am working behind a proxy and already have set it by -

git config --global http.proxy $http_proxy

Any help?

Best How To :

The git protocol uses a special port (9418) which, is you are working behind a proxy, is likely to be blocked.

As for http cloning, the web page of the newcomers-tutorial repo mentions an https url, not an http one:

git clone https://git.gnome.org/browse/newcomers-tutorial

Make sure to set your https proxy as well first:

git config --global https.proxy $http_proxy

Why can I view some Unix executable files in Mac OS X and not others?

How do I put my index.html in the same folder as my other .html files on github?

“Arguments to path.resolve must be strings” when calling 'gitbook build' from a Git hook

node.js,git,gruntjs,githooks,gitbook

Some further consideration brought me to the right direction: Invoking a Git hook has a different login context than working on the server's command line. So running set > some-file in both contexts revealed significant differences in environment variables. Some experiments turned out that it was export HOME=/home/git that had...

How to get rid of .ignore file in Git?

git,file,bitbucket,ignore

.gitignore is just like any other file under version control, so yes, you can delete it. However, keep in mind that it probably has entries in it that should be kept, so instead of deleting it, I would just modify it so that your jar files are no longer ignored.
