Cloning from BitBucket to GIT without login?

bitbucket, git

Solution

There is a small download link on the bottom of this thing:

It seems to point to a zipball of the latest commit.

Problem

There is a project on BitBucket that I just want to download to experiment with. I am new to GIT. The clone button displays a hg command and the URL has no .git, so I assume this is not the URL I need for GIT. I tried anyways(also tried adding a .git to the end) and got a "not found" error in both cases. ``` $ git clone https://bitbucket.org/munificent/amaranth.git fatal:https://bitbucket.org/munificent/amaranth not found did you git update server-info on the server ? ``` I am not sure what the error is suggesting. It sounds like it is recommending I run a command on the server side which I can't since I am not the owner of the repo. Is downloading this repo from bit bucket possible without mercurial? If so, how? Even just an archive file would be nice. I am using GitHub for windows command line. (I didn't see an obvious way to just enter a URL into the GitHub user interface, which I feel like I've just not found it, since it seems that a URL is what I keep seeing offered as the primary way to clone a repo, along with SSH)
