Github issue

I have been trying clone a repository from github but every time I try I get this error

fatal: unable to connect to github.com:
github.com: Name or service not known

I'm thinking it's just because my network is messed up but I want to explore all the options.

Re: Github issue

Is this what you're after -

https://github.com/simtr/The-Powder-Toy

look on the right side of the page you'll see a HTTPS clone URL - that works with

git clone https://github.com/simtr/The-Powder-Toy.git

Re: Github issue

sudo git clone git://github.com/simt/The-Powder-Toy.git

There's an r missing in the username. And why are you using sudo to clone a repo?
