Greetings all, This is probably common knowledge for for experienced git users, but it had me blocked for a couple of days, so at the risk of sounding like and idiot I'd thought I'd share the problem I was having and its (extremely simple) solution.
I had successfully built git from home (on Mac OS X), but was getting build errors trying to do so from my office (on Ubuntu 14.04)-- the Zeppelin: web Application module kept failing when bower was trying to resolve dependencies using the git protocol (rather than https). I kept getting build failures like the one below. The problem was due to the fact that our corporate firewall blocked port 9418, which the git protocol uses (I could use git via https with no problems). The solution was simply to configure git to always use https:// instead of git:// : git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git:// Embarrassingly, I spent hours trying to figure out a work-around before stumbling upon this simple config setting, so I thought I'd send this out to the mailing list in case anyone else was experiencing the same issue. Once I changed the config setting, Zeppelin built completely without any issues! Below is a sample of the errors I would receive before redirecting git to use https instead of the git protocol. If anyone else is trying to build git behind a restrictive firewall, I hope this helps!
