Import the Pkgs already installed on another PC

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
I can not find it in my system.

I have only updated and made:

git config --global http.proxy http://hemes:password@proxy05.ecp.elc:8080

git config --global https.proxy https://hemes:password@proxy05.ecp.elc:8080

And I get the following alerts:

julia>

Which of the following lines is correct:

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/"

Gracias

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/

ALso what happensw in Powershell when you run the command ping 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.

this is the result:

hermesr@hermes MINGW32 ~
$ ping github.com

Please now try

git clone GitHub - JuliaRegistries/General: The official registry of general Julia packages

Not good result:

hermesr@hermes MINGW32 ~
$ git clone https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git
Cloning into 'General'...
ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Connection timed out
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Does this setting help
git config --global url.“https://github.com/

Also please sent the result of git config --list
But please, please edit your password to read password or something.

git config --list

Absolutely my fault. Try
git config --global url.“https://github.com”.insteadOf git://github.com

hermesr@hermes MINGW32 ~
$ git config --global url.“https://github.com”
error: invalid key: url.“https://github.com”

Without quotes in the address I do not get answers. Only the sign of the system!

hermesr@hermes MINGW32 ~
$ git config --global url.https://github.com

hermesr@hermes MINGW32 ~
$

Ok?

@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.

:grinning:
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.
