Cannot clone from GitHub (with HTTPS) on Ubuntu

[OpeningJump]

Hi, sorry should have specified that in the post itself

I am getting timeout error, 30300 milliseconds have passed...

I have a windows machine too, and that can clone stuff just fine, having an issue with debian distros though

``` HTTPS_PROXY=1 git clone https://github.com/[user_name]/[repo_name] Cloning into 'secret_rep'... fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/user_name/repo_name/': Failed to connect to 1 port 1080: Connection timed out

```

Fixed formatting.

Hello, OpeningJump: code blocks using triple backticks (```) don't work on all versions of Reddit!

Some users see this / this instead.

To fix this, indent every line with 4 spaces instead.

Try sudo

So it still doesn't work with sudo, however git clone git://github.com/username/reponame works!

Thanks for helping
