Clone Github repository for manos

Question

I thought this would be really easy, but I'm failing to clone http://github.com/jacksonh/manos so I can build the project.

[dev@vps ~]$ git clone http://github.com/jacksonh/manos
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/dev/manos/.git/

The above never returns and never creates any directories. I can browse the source using the http address, but I'm not sure how to get the git cloned?

Answer 1

This should work for you.

git clone https://github.com/jacksonh/manos.git

It did for me:

$ git clone https://github.com/jacksonh/manos.git
