Clonning from git gets stuck

[Anonymous_Banned275]

What is correct command / syntax to clone code from git?

Using https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git

Gets stuck
cloning into qtbase

Using https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/tree

does not find "tree"

Hi
Please see
https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_5_from_Git
and the Getting the source code section

$ git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git
or (if you're behind a firewall and want to use the https protocol):

$ git clone https://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git
Then check out the target branch (see Branch Guidelines):

@mrjj
I was missing the "software" update option in OS setup.
But I was able to clone before that change using command.
I did update repositories list anyway.

However,
now I cannot clone anything from https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git, even using command .
And I am successful cloning from another test repository - both using Qt or command.

That looks as problem between Qt and that particular repository
I need to verify if the repository is correct , but this "getting stuck cloning " does not help much.

Hi,

Because you are still using the wrong link.

For example, using the git protocol it's: git://code.qt.io/qt/qtbase.git

@SGaist
So why this works just fine ?

https://code.qt.io/qt-creator/qt-creator.git

@AnneRanch because it's the correct path for the https protocol to clone Qt Creator.

i also get this problem.
the trick is on the URL.
You need remove the "cgit" from URL.
Then it will work.
