git:// doesn't work when cloning locally

[Parking-Master]

I found this problem with git after copying the command from the docs:

$ git clone https://github.com/defunctzombie/localtunnel-server.git

Cloning into 'localtunnel-server'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 770, done.
remote: Total 770 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 770
Receiving objects: 100% (770/770), 436.21 KiB | 2.78 MiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (412/412), done.

I found out that the git:// protocol no longer works and only works with https:// or ssh://.

Could you update the docs and change this minor detail?

Thanks!

Hii Parker,

Which node version are you using?

It's not Node, it's git. And in the stackoverflow anwser I linked, they said that "git://" is no longer valid.

All rigth I got it.

Thanks! It does work, the issue was basically asking someone to change the docs because it's outdated

No problem :+1:

Yes! unfortunaly the repository is a bit old and maybe in that time it worked.

So, I have this repository and maybe it can help you:

https://github.com/tiagopazhs/localtunnelServer-raise

I recomend you to see this two commits:

Fix esm modules

It will help you to setup the project because there are some differences between node versions.

https://github.com/tiagopazhs/localtunnelServer-raise/commit/425c9733393a13dedd32a363c325a076d4006cbf

Run server in your machine

If you debug your application you will got this problem because localtunnel uses an especific lib that don't handle with local urls.
