git and “Server aborted the SSL handshake” errors

Question

Often when I want to push to my private repo I get a "Server aborted the SSL handshake" error. After several tries it often suddenly works. I was yet not able to f

Answer 1

git clone https://github.com/torch/distro.git ~/torch --recursive

I have just tried cloning(using the above command) and it worked fine. I see all the submodules are hosted on github.com only. It might be some temporary issue with the SSL certificate at github.com's end.

Or else, you can try cloning it via SSH if that works for you.
