But meanw

Answer 1

That is indeed an odd error. Interestingly, the git URL looks malformed.

git@github.om:mobify/bellows.git

There's no 'c' in .com. It is also weird that pinny is trying to pull bellows in; they're totally unrelated.

Could you let me know what OS and version of bower you're using?

I'll try to reproduce this and let you know if I find anything.

Answer 2

I had The same Problem with Install packages using Bower.

This Problem happen because bower proxy configuration, you need to make bower use http:// Instead of git:// when install packages. you can Solve this problem using .bowerrc File.

Just create .bowerrc File and set proxy and https-proxy configuration :

{
  "proxy" : "http://<host>:<port>",
  "https-proxy" : "http://<host>:<port>"
}

More About Bower Documentation for .bowerrc File

There Two Questions about bower proxy configuration in StackOverflow : First Question , second Question

Update:

IF the First Solution Does not Work, you can try suggest @thebignet into same issue on GitHub

Set proxy, https-proxy and strict-ssl configuration into .bowerrc File :

{
  "proxy"       : "http://<host>:<port>",
  "https-proxy" : "http://<host>:<port>",
  "strict-ssl"  : false
} 

But you must run Command from terminal:

git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://
