Internal error: github.com[0: 192.30.252.130]: errno=No error fatal: unable to connect a socket (No error)

Question

I'm pretty much a start up (noob) in this whole coding thing. But I have my eclipse running with the aptana studio plugin. I open a new web project, and click on the "HTML5 Boilerplate" Option, and upon creating the project, get this error message: Internal error:

github.com[0: 192.30.252.130]: errno=No error fatal: unable to connect a socket (No error)

when I click on the eclipse "Problem Occured" prompt on "Details" I am not sure of how to fix this problem. I already installed the git plugins on eclipse and everything, if that was a possible solution.

Answer 1

It depends on the GitHub url for the HTML5 boilerplate repo.

But if you are behind a firewall, chances are that url is an ssh one, and ssh is blocked.
If you have not control over said url, and cannot change it to an https one, you still can attempts a manual download and installation, as in this answer.

Answer 2

This solved my issue.... Bypass git using git:// addresses, force them to use https://

git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://

To revert the settings back to git port, use below command

git config --global --unset url."https://".insteadOf

git github
