Clone the repo

Clone the repo

[REGAN David]

Hi

I have never used GIT before and I'm probably doing something stupid.

I've downloaded Git for Windows and from a command shell issued the command

clone git://sourceware.org/newlib-cygwin.git

This replies with

Cloning into 'newlib-cygwin'...
fatal: unable to connect to sourceware.org:
sourceware.org[0: 209.132.180.131]: errno=Invalid argument

Any ideas

Regards
Dave Regan

Wrong path.  Try

  git clone git://sourceware.org/git/newlib-cygwin.git

or

  git clone https://sourceware.org/git/newlib-cygwin.git

Hi Corinna

Thank you for your response

Using git clone git://sourceware.org/git/newlib-cygwin.git I got

Using git clone https://sourceware.org/git/newlib-cygwin.git
It apparently did nothing for about 2 minutes and then completed.

                  ^^^
I assume this is the port number and it's obviously wrong.
There's very likely a git service entry missing in
%SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc\services.  You can try to add it
like this:

  git                   9418/tcp

or you could try to add the port number to the CLI:

  git clone git://sourceware.org:9418/git/newlib-cygwin.git
