Description 007007dinesh 2015-04-25 05:50:59 UTC
I am trying to clone git repository from sourceforge using Netbeans 8. As per the project's sourceforge page, the git clone can be done with the following way

    git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/neembuuuploader/gitcode neembuuuploader-gitcode

The above link is mentioned in 'http://sourceforge.net/p/neembuuuploader/gitcode/ci/master/tree/'

Netbeans throwing error as it is not able to connect with the server. 
The master has folder as `modules` in it's root directory. I tried appending it with url and still the same issue. 


I have not tried any other git cloning mechanism (like from terminal), since I need it from Netbeans only. I can understand that I am making mistake in the clone url. 

What should be the correct form I have to use ? 


I have asked this question in Stackoverflow too. 
Link : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29861162/git-clone-from-sourceforge-using-netbeans-8-0-1

I got response as it is working from terminal, but not from Netbeans. 

Hope this helps.

Thanks

The URL is:
git://git.code.sf.net/p/neembuuuploader/gitcode
not
git://git.code.sf.net/p/neembuuuploader/gitcode neembuuuploader-gitcode
as you typed on the screenshot at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29861162/git-clone-from-sourceforge-using-netbeans-8-0-1

git://git.code.sf.net/p/neembuuuploader/gitcode neembuuuploader-gitcode
are actually two parameters passed to git clone command in CLI, the first is the repository URL, the second local folder on your hard drive where to clone to.

So please enter just "git://git.code.sf.net/p/neembuuuploader/gitcode" into the URL field in Netbeans
