I have another problem regarding Git. This time I thoroughly searched Google and Stack Overflow and I couldn’t find any reasonable solution. I am trying to clone a repository using the command git clone "http://github.com/scottgonzalez/node-chat" and I am getting this error:

Cloning into node-chat…

fatal: http://github.com/scottgonzalez/node-chat/info/refs not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?

What can I do to make the clone work? I tried running various things like git update-server-info and git update-server-info "http://github.com/scottgonzalez/node-chat" and none of them seemed to work.

Can anyone help me with this? Some day, I may learn how to use Git properly, but for now I just need to get this thing working.

    You need to use the .git extension for HTTP clones:

    https://github.com/scottgonzalez/node-chat.git

    As you can see, https://github.com/scottgonzalez/node-chat.git/info/refs does exist, but https://github.com/scottgonzalez/node-chat/info/refs does not.
