I don't know if it is possible to clone a git repo over http. There is a web interface to browsing a repo, git-web, but I don't think that is suitable for cloning. I think the standard protocols for cloning a repo are git:// ssh:// and maybe ftp://

I'm sure someone on this list can correct me if I'm wrong.

git:// is a rsync-based protocol that can run over ssh if the repository server is set up to do that - gitosis runs git:// over ssh, plain git-daemon runs git:// unencrypted. <http://scie.nti.st/2007/11/14/hosting-git-repositories-the-easy-and-secure-way> <http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-daemon.html> Git can clone over http:// (simply use http://), assuming the git repository server is set up to support this (I don't know what is involved, never having done it). Cloning/pulling over http:// is somewhat inefficient and is a *lot* more fragile than using the git:// protocol. <http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/howto/setup-git-server-over-http.txt> HTH, gvb
