So to use that http address to clone the repo you'd issue the command:I checked this page http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=summary they mentioned an HTTP url http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git but when I accessed it then got a 404 page not found error. git clone http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git http git addresses are useful for accessing repos from behind firewalls that block the standard git port of 9418, but http access can be considerably slower than git access. This is all explained in the following: http://progit.org/book/ch4-1.html I highly recommend that book, which is freely available online. |
