Can't clone from GitHub

[MMRPi1]

So whenever I try to clone a repo from GitHub (to update or to add a new module) I get an error saying it can’t access the repo.

The exact error is:
fatal: unable to access <repo_url> gnutls_handshake() failed

I saw a few others with the same error but didn’t find a solution that worked.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@MMRPi1 can u show us the git clone command exactly as u used it…

[MMRPi1]

git pull from the MagicMirror folder.

@MMRPi1 that’s different from clone

[MMRPi1]

pull to update, clone to install modules. I get the same error in any case.

[sdetweil]

@MMRPi1 ok, there was another person that had a similar problem and there was an extra . On the end of the url

@sdetweil Oh alright. I think the issue here is somewhat security related but I could be wrong.
Not sure what to do about it though. Since I’ve been able to update MM and also add new modules in the past.

@MMRPi1 some folks are experiencing this cause their antivirus live protection has downlevel tls (https) support

@sdetweil Hmm, tried disabling my Antivirus but I still got the same error.

@sdetweil Do you know what else might be the problem?
