I am taking a look at your package this morning. A couple of issues to get
started cloning your repos. Yuour instructions are slightly wrong in your
README.md file.
You say run the following command:
*Julia>*Pkg.Clone("git://github.com/siddhantjain/UCIMLRepo.jl.git")
1) The clone call should be lowercase
2) The path to the repo should be
"git://github.com/siddhantjain/UCIMLRepo.git"
So the cloning call should be: Pkg.clone(
"git://github.com/siddhantjain/UCIMLRepo.git")
At least that is what worked on my machine.
