How to troubleshoot a url error with “Port number ended with 'y'”?

Question

While trying to clone an already existing repository from gitlab into my local drive. I used the format

$ git clone https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2  mylibgit          


        

Answer 1

I later found the problem, I was not typing cd /path/to/your/repo at the beginning.

I was actually typing gitlab instead of Github.

Thanks.
