bundle install leads to git clone error. Not sure what this response means

Question

Getting a strange error on bundle install..

bundle install
Fetching gem metadata from http://rubygems.org/.....
Fetching gem metadata from http://rubygems.org/..
Fetching git://github.com/maccman/gdata.git
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
Git error: command `git clone 'git://github.com/maccman/gdata.git' "/Users/elephanttrip/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p318@shasta/cache/bundler/git/gdata-811f852468ac76e0019108d8c5320da12b6683d4" --bare --no-hardlinks` in directory /Users/elephanttrip/Sites/shasta has failed.

This wasn't happening until I installed the mysql2 gem and mysql with brew.

Any ideas what this error means?

UPDATE

Also none of the folders it is trying to clone this to exist. It's probably something to do with my bundle paths and juggling .rvm

Answer 1

The problem is not on your end. Trying:

git clone 'git://github.com/maccman/gdata.git' "foobar" --bare --no-hardlinks

Fails on my machine with the same error.

Interestingly a non-bare clone seems to work as expected.

resolution: Clone from the https interface: https://github.com/maccman/gdata.git instead.

Ah, amazing. Thanks for pointing that out my European comrade. I'll just comment that piece out. ;D – Lory

Well, I might not be so fast, you'll probably need the gdata API :) – Santos

I switched it to the https connection and it worked. Interesting to say the least. – Lory

This is probably something to take up to the github team. – Santos

Answer 2

1. In your Terminal write bundle config github.https true
2. In your Terminal write bundle install

Orthotropic

Answer 3

To modify the URL 'git://github.com/maccman/gdata.git' to use HTTPS instead of Git, you can simply replace 'git://' with 'https://':

Original URL:

git://github.com/maccman/gdata.git

Modified URL:

https://github.com/maccman/gdata.git

Inherit

Answer 4

Add your SSH key to the github.

Or as @brice mentioned, you need to add your team to the repo.
