npm install fails due to "Operation timed out" error with git protocol

[sunnypranay]

Description:

• Attempting to install the moonrider repository dependencies via npm install results in a timeout error. It seems the issue arises when trying to fetch packages using the git protocol.

  1. Environment Information:
  • Apple M1 Pro - Sonoma 14.1

2. Steps to Reproduce:

   1. Clone the repository `git clone git@github.com:supermedium/moonrider.git`
   2. Navigate to the repository directory `cd moonrider`
   3. Run `npm install`

3. Expected Behavior:

   • I expected npm install to install all dependencies without any issues.

4. Actual Behavior:

   While executing `npm install`, the installation process fails with the following error:

   24727 error Error while executing:
   24727 error /usr/bin/git ls-remote -h -t git://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS2.git
   24727 error
   24727 error fatal: unable to connect to github.com:
   24727 error github.com[0: 140.82.114.3]: errno=Operation timed out

5. Possible Solution:

   • It appears that the issue might be related to the use of the git protocol in package URLs. A potential fix could be to switch to the HTTPS protocol as follows:

   • Change the URLs in package.json from:

     "uglify-es": "git://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS2.git#harmony",
     "uglify-js": "git://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS2#harmony",

   • To

     "uglify-es": "https://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS2.git#harmony",
     "uglify-js": "https://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS2#harmony",

I've just tried to replace it this way in package-lock.json and get other errors:

For me it's about other packages, but as soon as the initial error was the same, reason of the error should be the same either.
