Unable to clone repo for manually installation of mapit #410

Closed frankyfranks closed 10 months ago

frankyfranks commented 11 months ago

As per the instructions for a manual installation of mapit at http://code.mapit.mysociety.org/install/ I've attempted the clone the repo;- $ git clone git://github.com/mysociety/mapit.git Unfortunately I get an error=Connection timed out. I've tried multiple times but get the same error each time.

Any suggestions or help greatly appreciated or even better if there is a newer install script that works on a current version of Ubuntu or Debian.

Many thanks

Those instructions are outdated. GitHub dropped support for the Git protocol a while ago: https://github.blog/2021-09-01-improving-git-protocol-security-github/

You'll need to clone via https or ssh:

git clone https://github.com/mysociety/mapit.git

or

git clone git@github.com:mysociety/mapit.git
