I just installed Git, eager to use it for the first time for cloning

  • 0

I just installed Git, eager to use it for the first time for “cloning” a project, but as soon as I tried my first ever command I receive this dreaded error message:

fatal: The remote end hung up
unexpectedly

The command I was trying to run was:

 git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/projects/platform/packages/apps/Browser.git/tree

Any idea why I am getting this fail?

BTW, I am using the latest cygwin 1.7.8 git 1.7.4 on Windows XP SP3 32-bit.

    What you should do instead is:

    git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/packages/apps/Browser.git

    Outputs:

    Cloning into Browser...
