GIT uses GIT protocol. So if you need to clone any source, you need to do the following:
1. varsha@varsha-laptop:~$ git clone git://git.gnome.org/path/of/source
2. If the above works fine for you, then you don't have to do anything else. Otherwise, if you get the following error, then proceed to Step 3.
git.gnome.org[0: 209.132.180.173]: errno=Connection timed out
fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection timed out)
3. Check if you have set up your system proxy.
varsha@varsha-laptop:~$ echo $http_proxy
http://172.16.1.13:3128/
4. If not, set the proxy.
5. Try cloning from GIT again, but this time use http:// instead of git://.
varsha@varsha-laptop:~$ git clone http://git.gnome.org/path/of/source
1. varsha@varsha-laptop:~$ git clone git://git.gnome.org/path/of/source
2. If the above works fine for you, then you don't have to do anything else. Otherwise, if you get the following error, then proceed to Step 3.
git.gnome.org[0: 209.132.180.173]: errno=Connection timed out
fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection timed out)

varsha@varsha-laptop:~$ echo $http_proxy

varsha@varsha-laptop:~$ git clone http://git.gnome.org/path/of/source
