error in git clone

[Mayank Agarwal]

Hi all,

I am trying to create the git repository of linux kernel but on doing git
clone
i am getting the following error:

sudo git clone git://
git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git
Initialized empty Git repository in
/home/mayank/linuxkernel/linux-stable/.git/
^[[Agit.kernel.org[0: 149.20.4.72]: errno=Connection timed out
fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection timed out)

I tried disabling firewall also but that is also of not help.

Any reasons why this error is happening and how can i get over this.

Thanks and Regards,
Mayank

Most probably your company's firewall is blocking the git protocol.
You can try to clone using http or https url instead of git url.

Why's the sude? You should definitely not need super user privileges
for a got clone.
