Cocoapods: Failed to connect to GitHub to update the CocoaPods/Specs specs repo

Question

When running pod repo update the following error is generated:

Updating spec repo `master`
[!] Failed to connect to GitHub to update the CocoaPo         


        

Answer 1

I also encountered the same issue. In my scene, i used a mirror repo (hosted elsewhere) of cocoapods specs on github. When i updated the specs repo, it worked!

cd ~/.cocoapods/repos/master
git pull
