Seems very likely that you are behind a firewall that blocks `github.com` and maybe intercepts https requests and sends some bogus reply instead of the actual server response. You could try the [latest beta release of Julia 1.7](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/julia-v1-7-0-beta2-is-now-available/63408) which may improve this by not using git for getting registry updates. You’ll probably want to clear our your `~/.julia/registries` directory when you try that.
