cant clone the repo ubuntu server

[brpaz]

I am trying to install node into a ubuntu server Virtual Machine and when i do git clone https://github.com/joyent/node.git i get the following error:

"fatal: https://github.com/joyent/node.git/info/refs not found. Did you run git-update-server-info on the server?"

Any suggestions?

@Bruno-P This most likely has nothing to do with node---are you able to clone any other github repo? Try switching to http or git protocols perhaps, and just check that your own git installation works correctly in general.

http protocol works. This problem only happens with node. I can clone any other git repo using git protocol withtout problems.

Closing, you need to contact GitHub Support for this.

Why close? I'm getting same issue and can't find a solution.

@sahibalejandro --- are you able to clone with the http or git protocols? This issue was closed, because the user could still clone via http, and the fact that a broken protocol is a problem for GitHub Support, not for the individual git repo.

[sahibalejandro]

Yes I did try http, https and git protocols but same result. I can clone other repos perfectly.
I have git 1.7.2.5, in GitHub help says I need 1.7.10 or something like that, I think is my git version. :(

EDIT:
If is a version problem sorry for re-open the thread.

@sahibalejandro My advice is to try updating your git to the recommended version on GitHub's help pages, and if that still doesn't, work, contact GitHub support

If it is indeed the case where node's repo has some misconfiguration causing this issue for you, GitHub will be able to point it out and the node people can correct it.
