If you are behind proxy which is protected by firewall and want to use git clone using git:// protocol there is a huge chance that it will not work. But the beautiful thing is you can use http:// protocol instead. Which will work behind most of the proxy. So for example, suppose you want to clone ibus-avro from github.com/sarim. So normally you will run the following command: git clone git://github.com/sarim/ibus-avro.git Now if cloning fails, that means your proxy firewall is blocking it, you can run the following command instead. git clone http://github.com/sarim/ibus-avro.git Which will also clone the content of ibus-avro. Hope this will help. Cheers A.Paul
