TL;DR;
Just fix the
npm install
scriptExplanation
The recommended Node Version for this repository is
10.15.1
, which uses npm6.4.1
under the hood (see.nvmrc
).When trying to install dependencies directly from Git repositories, this version of NPM uses internally the git: protocol, which performs operations such as:
/usr/bin/git ls-remote -h -t git://github.com/<organization>/<repository>.git
git clone --depth=1 -q -b master git://github.com/<organization>/<repository>.git <some-cache-directory>
However, Github dropped support for this protocol a while ago, hence
npm install
fails always.The less elegant, but most pragmatic solution @Josmorsot and I found during the journey is to redirect every
git:
protocol request throughhttps:
by modifying the NPM configuration locally
