Pulling from guix git repo fails

Pulling from guix git repo fails

[Arun Isaac]

I'm not able to pull from the guix repo. Has some URL changed? I have
commit access.

$ git pull

ssh: connect to host git.sv.gnu.org port 22: Connection timed out
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

$ git remote -v

origin	ssh://arunisaac@git.sv.gnu.org/srv/git/guix.git (fetch)
origin	ssh://arunisaac@git.sv.gnu.org/srv/git/guix.git (push)

This doesn't answer your question directly, but I pull from the HTTPS
URL:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/r/guix.git

I never tried pulling over SSH, although I believe Savannah intends to
support it. Before they served Git over HTTPS, pulling over SSH was the
recommended way to pull over an authenticated protocol.

You can set different URLs for push and pull with `git remote`.

I just found out that my ISP (BSNL -- run by the Indian government and
one of the largest ISPs in India) has blocked outgoing connections on
port 22 for the entire country because of "malware attacks". Many people
are affected. So, I'm hoping this absurdly stupid decision will be
reversed soon.

So, I don't think this is a problem with Guix.

Works fine here. Maybe it was a transient or local network issue?

  $ git config --get remote.upstream.url
  nckx@git.sv.gnu.org:/srv/git/guix.git

  $ git fetch upstream
