How to fix bower ECMDERR
bower, github, windows-firewall, yeoman
Solution
In case you might encounter the same issue...It turns out my machine behind firewall, that won't able to access git://github.com/jquery/jquery.git
Link: Unable to Connect to GitHub.com For Cloning
The solution without changing the firewall:
git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://

Problem
I'm using "yeoman" and "bower" on windows 7 but got the following error when I create the app ``` yo webapp ``` The error is ``` bower not-cached git://github.com/jlong/sass-bootstrap.git#~3.0.0 bower resolve git://github.com/jlong/sass-bootstrap.git#~3.0.0 bower not-cached git://github.com/Modernizr/Modernizr.git#~2.6.2 bower resolve git://github.com/Modernizr/Modernizr.git#~2.6.2 bower not-cached git://github.com/jquery/jquery.git#~1.10.2 bower resolve git://github.com/jquery/jquery.git#~1.10.2 bower ECMDERR Failed to execute "git ls-remote --tags --heads git://github .com/jquery/jquery.git", exit code of #128 Additional error details: fatal: unable to connect to github.com: github.com[0: 192.30.252.130]: errno=No error ``` The version of the yeoman, bower and node ``` c:\yo-test>bower -v 1.2.8 c:\yo-test>yo -version 1.1.2 c:\yo-test>node -v v0.10.15 ``` Any suggestion is much appreciated.
