Hello everyone, I am a newbie on this open source world, and sincerely trying to make contribution to the development of Numpy. I was trying to learn about making patches from http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/dev/gitwash/patching.html but unable to get the clone of Numpy repository.
In the terminal error massage shown is -
$hector@hector:~$ sudo git clone git://github.com/numpy/numpy.git [sudo] password for hector: Initialized empty Git repository in /home/hector/numpy/.git/ github.com[0: 207.97.227.239]: errno=Connection timed out fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection timed out) $hector@hector:~$
You should try through http: it may be that your network blocks the git protocol/port: git clone http://github.com/numpy/numpy.git You should also avoid using sudo to clone repositories (although it is unlikely to be the cause of your issue). cheers, David
