another exmple: git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git - works git clone http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git - works git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git - fatal: HTTP request failed
Access either of these in your browser: https://github.com/megabaks/stuff.git https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git And you will get a 404. It's NOT a Git problem, approach the owner of the repo or the hosting source.
