That cannot be true. I never work on the server, for me it is a remote repository too. I always push to and pull from the server, and it doesn't go through the web interface at all. Just through the git command-line interface. I would expect 'git clone' to always work, provided you give the proper URL of a directory that is under git.

Okay, I really don't know. I assume it's Gitweb, right? My only source of information on this is from here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/201 ... rom-gitweb. And this sounds like I can't do it. On Github there's a bright green "Clone" button. I can't find anything like that on your website. I think in your personal Git repo you have an actual remote url to which you can push. You should be able to see this by running
The Gitweb interface just browses this repo.

No, GitWeb has nothing to do with it. GitWeb is just a user of a an existing git repository on the server. It is the on-line version of gitk, a GUI for browsing the repository. But the repository exists independently of it. If I had not installed GitWeb on that server, the repository would be just as functional for pushing or pulling commits, and I suppose also for cloning. Any git command on a remote machine should be able to do it. (Well, to push you would need a password.)
The URL is the one I already gave: hgm.nubati.net/git/polyglot.git .

Ugh, OK. I got stuck at
Code: Select all
git clone https://hgm.nubati.net/git/polyglot.git
Cloning into 'polyglot'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://hgm.nubati.net/git/polyglot.git/': SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate
And thought, well it seems it's not supposed to be cloneable. But
Code: Select all
git clone http://hgm.nubati.net/git/polyglot.git
(i.e. without the "s" works). Sorry, I should have checked that earlier.
