You are probably behind a firewall. Try cloning via https – that has a higher chance of not being blocked:

    git clone https://github.com/angular/angular-phonecat.git

You can make git replace the protocol for you

    git config --global url.&quot;https://&quot;.insteadOf git://

See more at SO [Bower install using only https?][1]

I had the same error because I was using proxy. As the answer is given but in case you are using proxy then please set your proxy first using these commands:
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;git config --global http.proxy http://proxy_username:proxy_password@proxy_ip:port
git config --global https.proxy https://proxy_username:proxy_password@proxy_ip:port
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/code&gt;

Open port 9418 on your firewall - it&#39;s a custom port that Git uses to communicate on and it&#39;s often not open on a corporate or private firewall.

I was having this problem but just realized that GitHub must be one of the sites my ISP&#39;s &quot;child safe&quot; filter blocks by default. Presumably there are some, er, adult code repositories out there. I added github.com to the Allow List on my ISP account page and all is working now. Might be worth checking if you have a similar filter in place.

You can try to clone using the `HTTPS` protocol. Terminal command:
 
    git clone https://github.com/RestKit/RestKit.git

I&#39;m writing a PHP app and I want to make sure it will work with no errors.

The original code:

    &lt;?php
    $data = array(&#39;name&#39; =&gt; &#39;test&#39;,
                  &#39;id&#39;   =&gt; &#39;theID&#39;);
    
    echo form_input($data);
    ?&gt;

Would the following work with no errors or is not recommended for some reason?


    &lt;?= form_input([&#39;name&#39; =&gt; &#39;test&#39;, &#39;id&#39; =&gt; &#39;theID&#39;]); ?&gt;

Are there any difference?

I&#39;ve looked again the data about `array()` and the short array method with square brackets `[]` in PHP.net but I&#39;m not sure.

And also, is the short php tag `&lt;?= ?&gt;` fine for echoing? Is there any version issue? (provided is enabled in php.ini)

both looks the same

I&#39;m trying to review a pull request on GitHub to a branch that isn&#39;t master. The target branch was behind master and the pull request showed commits from master, so I merged master and pushed it to GitHub, but the commits and diff for them still appear in the pull request after refreshing. I&#39;ve doubled checked that the branch on GitHub has the commits from master. Why are they still appearing in the pull request?

I&#39;ve also checked out the pull request locally and it only shows the un-merged commits.

GitHub pull request showing commits that are already in target branch

At the moment git is doing my head in, I cannot come up with the best solution for the following.

There are two branches, one called **master** and one called **mobiledevicesupport**. I want to keep mobiledevicesupport as a continuous branch that will be merged/synced with the master branch whenever mobiledevicesupport is stable. This would merge changes from mobiledevicesupport into master but also bring all the changes from master into mobiledevicesupport so that branch can continue to be worked on and the features improved or amended. This needs to work with a central repository and multiple developers.

Please an example of similar workflows other people use or just tell me if this idea is stupid and I should consider other options. At the moment the workflow seems sound, but I just don&#39;t know how I can make git work this way.

Thanks, all help much appreciated.

Update 1:
If I was to merge master into mobiledevicesupport and mobiledevice support into master, do I get replicated commits across both branches. Or is git smart enough to work out that I have pulled the latest changes from branch A into branch B and add merge commit C to branch B. And I have pulled the latest changes from branch B into branch A and add merge commit D to branch A?

I was going to post an image but I don&#39;t have enough reputation for it, so I guess the following illustration will have to do. Two branches continuously running with merges going both directions often. The key thing I am not sure about is how git will play out the commits and will it fill either branch with the commits from the other branch on merges or will it stay clean. I have used rebase before but it seems to end the branch and put all the commits into the master, or I did it wrong. Thanks for the help so far.

I just did `git init` to initialize my folder as Git repository and then added a remote repository using `git remote add origin URL`. Now I want to remove this `git remote add origin` and add a new repository `git remote add origin new-URL`. How can I do it?





How to remove remote origin from a Git repository

Let’s say that I have a Git repository that looks like this:

    foo/
      .git/
      A/
       ... big tree here
      B/
       ... big tree here

Is there a way to ask `git log` to show only the log messages for a specific directory? For example, I want to see what commits touched files in *foo/A* only.

Say I&#39;ve forked a node module with a bugfix and I want to use my fixed version, on a feature branch of course, until the bugfix is merged and released. 

How would I reference my fixed version in the `dependencies` of my `package.json`?

I have created a `gh-pages` branch for a project that I am working on at GitHub.

I use Sublime text to author the website locally and my problem is that when this is pushed to GitHub, all the  links to javascrips, images, and css files are invalid.

For instance, I have this in my head section.

    &lt;link href=&quot;assets/css/common.css&quot; rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot;&gt;

This works great locally, but it does not work from GitHub as the links are not resolved using the repository name as part of the URL.

It asks for: 

    http://[user].github.io/assets/css/common.css

when it should have been asking for: 

    http://[user].github.io/[repo]/assets/css/common.css.


I could of course put the repo name as part of the URL, but that would prevent my site to work locally during development. 

Any idea how to deal with this?

We&#39;re ending up with a lot of commits like this in our repo:

    Merge branch &#39;master&#39; of bitbucket.org:user/repo

This happens every time a developer syncs his/hers local fork to the top-level repo.

Is there anyway to avoid this merge-commit hell from cluttering all the repo log? Can one avoid them when initiating the pull-requests in some way?

I know I can do git rebase if this is done in my local VM only, is there any equivalence in the GitHub/BitBucket UI?

How do you guys do it?

## Git Bash ##

I have been working with Git Bash for the last two days. I know now the basic operations such as `commit`, `push`, `pull`, `fetch`, and `merge`. But I still don&#39;t know what Git Bash *itself* actually is!
 
I&#39;ve searched a lot about Git Bash, but all sites which I have seen focus on the functionality of its commands. I still haven&#39;t found a good answer for my question. Now, I think, I&#39;m in the right place to get this answer!


What is the exact meaning of Git Bash?

I am using git bash. I have to use

    eval `ssh-agent.exe`
    ssh-add /my/ssh/location/
every time when I start a new git bash.

Is there a way to set ssh agent permanently? Or does windows has a good way
to manage the ssh keys?

I&#39;m a new guy, please give me detailed tutorial, thanks!

Running SSH Agent when starting Git Bash on Windows

Is there any command in Git, that clear the screen. for example in window command line after execute a lot of code, if you type cls, then it will clear all the previous code. so i want the same type of functionality in Git. so can anybody will tell me the command name.

Command to clear the Git Bash screen, including output buffer

I often need to relay my Git output to my ever-friendly code buddies. The best way I know how is by doing this:

    Right-click Git Bash title bar &gt; Edit &gt; Mark &gt; Select lines &gt; Enter

Bam - everything I selected is in my clipboard, and I am filled with joy.

Problem is, that&#39;s the boring way, and I like my relationship with Git to be full of **excitement** and **glamour**.

In Windows, you can pipe console output to your clipboard like-a so:

    C:\&gt; dir | clip

Amazing, right? Well, when you try to do something that in Git Bash, here&#39;s what happens:

    &gt; git branch | clip
    sh.exe&quot;: clip: command not found

And that makes me sad. Is there a way to pipe Git Bash output to my clipboard in Windows so I can once again be filled with joy?

Piping output from Git Bash to clipboard

How can I launch a new Git Bash window with a specified working directory using a script (either Bash or Windows batch)?

My goal is to launch multiple Git Bash windows from a single script, each set to a different working directory. This way I can quickly get to work after booting the computer instead of having to open Git Bash windows and navigating each one to the correct working directory.

I am not asking how to change the default working directory, like [this question][1] does, but to launch one or more terminal windows with different working directories from a script.

My understanding is that the default branch of a cloned repository is to be whatever HEAD points to in the repo being cloned.

I now have a case where this is not true. My understanding is obviously flawed, so what does determine the default checkout branch when cloning a (bare) repo?

The last commit on that repo was a merge between the branch referenced in the bare repo&#39;s HEAD into the branch I&#39;m getting as the checkout branch in the clone.

Running `git remote show origin` returns:

    Fetch URL: ...
    Push  URL: ...
    HEAD branch (remote HEAD is ambiguous, may be one of the following):
      &lt;bad-branch&gt;
      live
    Remote branches:
      ...

Bare repo uses Git version 1.8.2.1, client uses 1.7.12.4, transport is SSH.

Maybe the answer is actually [this one here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13061364/why-git-remote-show-name-display-remote-head-is-ambiguous-may-be-one-of-the). [This answer](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2574517/error-with-git-remote-head-is-ambiguous-may-be-one-of-the-following) confirms it. If there is a choice of symbolic refs all pointing to the same revision as HEAD, the client will _guess_ which branch to use. 

What determines default branch after &quot;git clone&quot;?

I have a company GitHub account and I want to back up all of the repositories within, accounting for anything new that might get created for purposes of automation. I was hoping something like this:

    git clone git@github.com:company/*.git 

or similar would work, but it doesn&#39;t seem to like the wildcard there. 

Is there a way in Git to clone and then pull everything assuming one has the appropriate permissions?

How to clone all repos at once from GitHub?

From [git-clone(1) Manual Page][1]

&gt; `--branch` can also take tags and detaches the HEAD at that commit in the resulting repository.

I tried  

    git clone --branch &lt;tag_name&gt; &lt;repo_url&gt;

But it does not work. It returns:  

    warning: Remote branch 2.13.0 not found in upstream origin, using HEAD instead

How to use this parameter?

How to clone a specific Git tag

I am trying to clone repo from another directory.

Lets say I have one repo in `C:/folder1` and `C:/folder2`

I want to clone the work in `folder1` into `folder2`.

What would I type into the command prompt to do this? 

It seems that often when cloning a URL is provided rather then a file path, however, at this moment I am just practicing and trying to get use to Git.
