gitgit-bash

Git fatal: protocol 'https' is not supported


I am going through Github's forking guide: https://guides.github.com/activities/forking/ and I am trying to clone the repository onto my computer. However, running the command:

$ git clone https://github.com/./Spoon-Knife.git
Cloning into 'Spoon-Knife'...
fatal: protocol 'https' is not supported

Also tried with SSH:

$ git clone git@github.com:./Spoon-Knife.git
Cloning into 'Spoon-Knife'...
Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address '.' to the list of known hosts.
git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Do I need to change some configuration setting on my computer or is this a problem with GitHub?

Edit: I have replaced my username and IP address with "."


Solution

  • The problem is probably this:

    So your link becomes ^?https://... which is invalid.
