Dear all,

I am a neophyte when it comes to working with Eclipse (under-the-hood, I have used it for development) and GIT.
I need to pull the main project to perform some data mining research on, I only need read-only access.

Every time I try to set things up though I get the following.



Elliotts-MacBook-Air:~ EVIannello$ git clone git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/project/repo
Cloning into 'repo'...
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

I have setup/configed git on my Macbook by setting up username and email. I have viewed the HowTo wiki Eclipse hosts as well as some other stuff on GIT's site.

Any help would be appreciated.

Best regards,
EV

I'm not sure this is an Eclipse question at all, but to the degree
Eclipse forums might help, you'll certainly need to ask in the right
forum, which would be Eclipse eGit.

Even so, could you give the concrete example that you were trying to clone? My guess is that you just got the URL a little wrong (they always end with .git, and the cloning URLs are listed in the individual repository pages for the repositories shown at http://git.eclipse.org/c ).
