I got this error when I was trying to be smart and extract the cloning URL from the repo's URL myself. I did it wrong. I was doing:

git@https://github.company.com/Project/Core-iOS

where I had to do:

[email protected]:Project/Core-iOS.git

I had 3 mistakes:

didn't need https://
after .com I need : instead of /
at the end I need a .git

Just use double quotes with URL  like  git clone  https   yourRepoUrl    It somehow sees that you are using 2 quote marks on start  don t know why     I was getting the same error    fatal  protocol   https  is not supported  you can see 2 quote marks on https

This issue persisted even after the fix from most upvoted answer   More specific  I pasted in the link without  Ctrl   v   but it still gave fatal  protocol  https  is not supported    But if you copy that message in Windows or in Google search bar you will that the actual message is fatal  protocol    https  is not supported  where     stands for this character  As you can see  those 2 characters have not been removed   I was working on IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition 2019 2 3 and the following fix refers to this tool  but the answer is that those 2 characters are still there and need to be removed from the link   IntelliJ fix  Go to top bar  select VCS -  Git -  Remotes    and click     Now it will open something link this    You can see those 2 unrecognised characters  We have to remove them  Either click edit icon and delete those 2 characters or you can delete the link and add a new one    Make sure you have   git  folder in your project folder     And now it should like this  Click  Ok  and now you can push files to your git repository

I encountered the same problem after freshly installing git on Windows 10 and running it for the first time  Restarting the bash window solved the problem

I have tried a lot of ways to solve this  But I am failed again and again  Then I did this    Open Git Bash   go to your directory   paste the git clone https   shahadat bitbucket org         git after that a command prompt will be shown to give the login credentials  Give the credentials and clone your project

There is something fishy going on  Probably a github bug that is not consistent  A B testing    I am on windows10  using firefox  I have just copied a checkout URL and got an extra character  But only the first time  A second time it wasn t there  I had to look at my history file to see it   here is my history   git clone --recursive https   github com amzeratul halley-template git clone --recursive http   github com amzeratul halley-template git clone --recursive github com amzeratul halley-template git clone --recursive https   github com amzeratul halley-template   the history command doesn t show the extra char  Just like it wasn t rendered when i was copy-pasting it into the terminal  You can see how i tried to remove the  s  and then the entire protocol  I was only triggered to investigate further when the backspace key moved one less character than i was expecting   I saved my shell history file onto a machine with an hex editor and   00000000  xx xx xx xx xx xx xx 0a  67 69 74 20 63 6c 6f 6e   xxxxxxx git clon  00000010  65 20 2d 2d 72 65 63 75  72 73 69 76 65 20 c2 96   e --recursive     00000020  68 74 74 70 73 3a 2f 2f  67 69 74 68 75 62 2e 63   https   github c  00000030  6f 6d 2f 61 6d 7a 65 72  61 74 75 6c 2f 68 61 6c   om amzeratul hal  00000040  6c 65 79 2d 74 65 6d 70  6c 61 74 65 0a 67 69 74   ley-template git  00000050  20 2d 2d 68 65 6c 70 0a  67 69 74 20 75 70 64 61    --help git upda  00000060  74 65 2d 67 69 74 2d 66  6f 72 2d 77 69 6e 64 6f   te-git-for-windo  00000070  77 73 0a 67 69 74 20 63  6c 6f 6e 65 20 2d 2d 72   ws git clone --r  00000080  65 63 75 72 73 69 76 65  20 c2 96 68 74 74 70 73   ecursive   https  00000090  3a 2f 2f 67 69 74 68 75  62 2e 63 6f 6d 2f 61 6d      github com am  000000a0  7a 65 72 61 74 75 6c 2f  68 61 6c 6c 65 79 2d 74   zeratul halley-t  000000b0  65 6d 70 6c 61 74 65 0a  63 75 72 6c 20 2d 2d 76   emplate curl --v  000000c0  65 72 73 69 6f 6e 0a 63  64 20 63 6f 64 65 0a 67   ersion cd code g  000000d0  69 74 20 63 6c 6f 6e 65  20 2d 2d 72 65 63 75 72   it clone --recur  000000e0  73 69 76 65 20 c2 96 68  74 74 70 73 3a 2f 2f 67   sive   https   g  000000f0  69 74 68 75 62 2e 63 6f  6d 2f 61 6d 7a 65 72 61   ithub com amzera  00000100  74 75 6c 2f 68 61 6c 6c  65 79 2d 74 65 6d 70 6c   tul halley-templ  00000110  61 74 65 0a 67 69 74 20  63 6c 6f 6e 65 20 2d 2d   ate git clone --  00000120  72 65 63 75 72 73 69 76  65 20 c2 96 68 74 74 70   recursive   http  00000130  3a 2f 2f 67 69 74 68 75  62 2e 63 6f 6d 2f 61 6d      github com am  00000140  7a 65 72 61 74 75 6c 2f  68 61 6c 6c 65 79 2d 74   zeratul halley-t  00000150  65 6d 70 6c 61 74 65 0a  67 69 74 20 63 6c 6f 6e   emplate git clon  00000160  65 20 2d 2d 72 65 63 75  72 73 69 76 65 20 67 69   e --recursive gi  00000170  74 68 75 62 2e 63 6f 6d  2f 61 6d 7a 65 72 61 74   thub com amzerat  00000180  75 6c 2f 68 61 6c 6c 65  79 2d 74 65 6d 70 6c 61   ul halley-templa  00000190  74 65 0a 67 69 74 20 63  6c 6f 6e 65 20 2d 2d 72   te git clone --r  000001a0  65 63 75 72 73 69 76 65  20 68 74 74 70 73 3a 2f   ecursive https    000001b0  2f 67 69 74 68 75 62 2e  63 6f 6d 2f 61 6d 7a 65    github com amze  000001c0  72 61 74 75 6c 2f 68 61  6c 6c 65 79 2d 74 65 6d   ratul halley-tem  000001d0  70 6c 61 74 65 0a                                  plate   000001d6   There i a c2 96 char inserted before the url  No idea what that is  Is it not extended ASCII  where it would be        and it was hidden from almost every place i pasted while it was on the clipboard   The closest i ve found with this hex value would be https   www fileformat info info unicode char c298 index htm but i didn t see the utf prefix anywhere  again  might have been lost   This all might be misleading as I lost the page clipboard and am working exclusively from the saved shell history file  which might very well be missing data from the original bug malicious injection

Problem is probably this   You tried to paste it using    CTRL  V   before and it didn t work so you went ahead and pasted it with classic   Right Click - Paste      Sadly whenever you enter CTRL  V on terminal it adds   a hidden       at least on my machine it encoded like that     the character that you only appears after you    backspace     go ahead an try it on git bash     So your link becomes   https         which is invalid

Copy in plain notepad  git clone https   github com   Spoon-Knife git  and paste it in cmd  now it will work

Just add this git config --global http sslVerify false   so that it doesn t check the certificate and it should work just fine

User · Answer

You might be using a windows or linux computer where you have not logged into git hub  so the certificate is not verified  From the sytem where you are getting error login to github with the credential then try to use the command it will work    Good Luck

I had the same problem  all I did was to restart the command line and then navigate to the document folder rather than the user folder using the command     cd documents      That should be all thats needed  Also ensure that the link is correct

User · Answer

You tried this   clt   V Just right click and click on paste Hope this will work

User · Answer

Edit  This particular users problem was solved by starting a new terminal session   A   before the protocol  https  is not support  You want this   git clone git github com octocat Spoon-Knife git   or this   git clone https   github com octocat Spoon-Knife git
