Hmm… interestingly when trying to simply `wget` the `General.git` from GitHub I get `Access Denied ... blocked by SurfProtection`, which is a bit odd given that `pkg` seems to interact with GitHub just fine for simply adding packages which don’t attempt to install further dependencies.

The .gitconfig file mentioned in:  
[Troubleshooting libgit2](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/troubleshooting-libgit2/1542/2)  
I can not find it in my system.

Which of the following lines is correct:

```julia
git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://       
git config --global url."https://github.com/".insteadOf git://github.com/  
git config --global url."git@github.com:".insteadOf "https://github.com/"

This is a Windows system. I Also use Windows with Julia.  
I may have got this wrong, but when I open Powershell and type which git I get  
PS C:\Users\hearn\> which git  
/cmd/git

I have installed Git for Windows [https://gitforwindows.org/](https://gitforwindows.org/)

ALso what happensw in Powershell when you run the command ping [github.com](http://github.com)  
I think we need to stop looking at Julia and get a git clone working on the command line or in Git Bash for Windows. Then we will get Julia working.

Okay, I’ll focus on Git. Is already installed.  
The first step would be to run the following line of code: `ping github.com`?  
I will need your guidance.

Does this setting help  
git config --global url.“[https://github.com/](https://github.com/)”

@heradri This s my fault. I am not quoting the code line correctly.  
I am simply cutting and pasting from this article:

Please do not get frustrated. We will get this issue fixed.

It is very nice of you to give help with this, but as I suggested above, the organization imposing these (network) restrictions presumably has some form of IT support, which should be capable of resolving these issues very quickly. Debugging this by copy-pasting input and output from a terminal is perhaps the least efficient method. I suppose that @heradri would probably be better served by calling IT, and either resolving this or narrowing it down to a bug.

😀  
Solved the problem:  
I acquired a TP-LINK-TL-WN725N-Nano-USB-Wireless-Adapter-V2-2-Wi-Fi-150Mbps.  
I connect to an external wifi, charge the packages that are necessary and return to the abitual network.  
I would just like to know how to connect to the portable hostpot of my cell phone.  
Thank you

I am not sure this is a Julia-specific question.
