Adapter installation from git starts first after manually kill of "git ls-remote -h -t git://github.com/iobroker-community-adapters/..." process

[Diginix]

nodejs: 14.19.2
js-controller: 4.0.23
admin 5.4.9

If I choose GIT as source and select an adapter, I see over xx minutes this screen.

This happens since some days/weeks. In the past it was that fast as the normal adapter installation, which is still fast and takes at max some seconds, never above a minute.

In CLI I see these processes that won't finish:

node /opt/iobroker/node_modules/iobroker.js-controller/iobroker.js url iobroker-community-adapters/ioBroker.pvforecast --host iobroker --debug
git ls-remote -h -t git://github.com/iobroker-community-adapters/ioBroker.pvforecast.git

Happens with influxDB adapter and now with pvforecast.

If I kill the process "git ls-remote", the installation first really starts with these running processes:

node /opt/iobroker/node_modules/iobroker.js-controller/iobroker.js url iobroker-community-adapters/ioBroker.pvforecast --host iobroker --debug
git clone --mirror -q https://github.com/iobroker-community-adapters/ioBroker.pvforecast.git /home/iobroker/.npm/_cacache/tmp/git-clone-70f56618/.git
/usr/lib/git-core/git-remote-https origin https://github.com/iobroker-community-adapters/ioBroker.pvforecast.git

And finally comes to a successfully end after some seconds:

Thsi is an issue on npm 6.x ... should be fixed in npm 7 or 8 ...

git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://

could solve the issue also with npm 6 ... execute that in /opt/iobroker

[Diginix]

I'm on npm 6.14 for a looong time and never had this before. Is there any update (linux, iob, ...) that could affect this (e.g. subminor update of npm 6.14.xx?)?

Reason is a change by GitHub:

• [BUG] GitHub references to dependencies slow/hang npm/cli#4896
• https://github.blog/2021-09-01-improving-git-protocol-security-github/

With Nodejs: v16.15.1 and NPM: 8.11.0 adapter installations over github are fast as expected.
Since a few weeks nodejs 16 is recommended https://forum.iobroker.net/topic/55678/node-js-16-x-neue-empfehlung-f%C3%BCr-iobroker

@Apollon77 Can we close this issue or is there a reason to keep it open?
