npm install on tutorial fails

[dlaub123]

I'm following the first steps for installing the tutorial - install git, nodejs, cloned repo with no problems, but then get stuck here:

C:\Users\laubd\angular-phonecat>npm install
npm WARN package.json [email protected] No README data

[email protected] postinstall C:\Users\laubd\angular-phonecat
bower install

@dlaub123 this issue should be opened in the relevant repo, that is: https://github.com/angular/angular-phonecat

But there is no point of opening an issue for this particular case, as the error is clear:

fatal: unable to connect to github.com:
github.com[0: 192.30.252.129]: errno=No error

which basically means that your git client can't reach GitHub. This is a problem with your git setup - something that we can't fix on our end, I'm afraid....

[dlaub123]

clearly that isn't so - so the problem is more subtle than you might think:
i.e. i CAN connect to github for this file with a partial command (see
below) also I have no problem with this git command: npm install
angular-animate

C:\Users\laubd\angular-phonecat>git ls-remote --tags --heads
