I am unable to clone my repository via HTTPS:
$ git clone https://github.com/walterjwhite/project.configuration.git
Initialized empty Git repository in ./pro
As you did saw yourself in GitHub support, Scott Schacon himself suggested:
So I guess your
.netrcis incorrect or something?
Try removing the info from your.netrcand cloning first (since it's a public repo).
If it isn't a GitHub server issue, it could be your firewall.
And/or your proxy (git config --global http.proxy http://user:password@proxy:xxx).
