Git fatal: protocol 'https' is not supported

I am going through Github's forking guide: https://guides.github.com/activities/forking/
and I am trying to clone the repository onto my computer. However, running the command:

$ git clone https://github.com/./Spoon-Knife.git

Cloning into 'Spoon-Knife'...

fatal: protocol 'https' is not supported

Also tried with SSH:

$ git clone git@github.com:./Spoon-Knife.git

Cloning into 'Spoon-Knife'...

Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address '.' to the list of known hosts.

git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.



Please make sure you have the correct access rights

and the repository exists.

Do I need to change some configuration setting on my computer or is this a problem with GitHub?

Edit: I have replaced my username and IP address with "."

Can you check if there are any strange special characters in the copied text. Maybe try typing the whole URL instead of copying it from github. And maybe also check if github.com really resolves to github or if there is something redirecting it to another server.

Or maybe some other software on your computer corrupted the intstalled git (see stackoverflow.com/questions/15553161/…). In that case reinstalling it might fix the issue.

Thanks for some reason I rebooted the command line and now it works...

A ? before the protocol (https) is not support. You want this:

git clone git@github.com:octocat/Spoon-Knife.git

or this:

git clone https://github.com/octocat/Spoon-Knife.git

Selecting the location to clone

Edit: this particular users problem was solved by starting a new terminal session.

Have you forked the project then? Did you make it public or private? If it's public, you should be able to copy the url from the box as shown above. If it's private you must have your private key added to your account.
