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

How to tell git-svn that files are NOT binary

git,svn,migration,git-svn,gitattributes

The binary attribute "macro" is a shorthand for -diff -merge -text (see gitattributes docs).

The latter two...

git: assume unchanged bit not set

While the actual behavior may have changed between versions, this is an implementation detail.

It means that Git may avoid looking at the files, it doesn't mean that Git must avoid looking at...

Git sees duplicated modified file

git,git-add,git-status
