Github无法在Windows 7应用程序上克隆存储库

Question

When trying to clone a remote repository to my machine I get the error:

"failed to clone the repository 'somerepo'" "The process timed out. The repository is in an unknown state and likely corrupted. Trying deleting it and cloning it again"

This same error happened to someone else with the same environment and fixed it by just cloning it again. That didn't work for me. The repo is not the issue here.

Answer 1

First, if you are cloning with GitHub for Windows , then the latest msysgit is included in it : you just need to open a shell from G4W .

Second, if the issue persists (from an independent up-to-date msysgit, or from G4W), then it should be some connection issue (network, firewall, blocked port...)
