fatal: unable to connect to github when running gatsby new

[jaegz]

I'm looking to give gatsby a test drive and was following the tutorial, but ran into an issue when running the following command:

gatsby new tutorial-part-one https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby-starter-hello-world

output

Upon further inspection the network/firewall settings didn't want to resolve git:// so I updated my git config to use https instead:

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

So now I can connect to github, but now I am running into this yarn error:

self signed certificate in certificate chain

^^^ makes it sound like more firewall trouble e.g. your firewall is inserting its own cert.

Thanks, took another stab at this today on the windows machine and got it to work.
Indeed it was a network issue - setting yarn's config to: yarn config set "strict-ssl" false solved everything.

All this can be solved........... By two simple steps actually three:
1.) Open GIT BASH
2.) Type the command: gatsby new gatsby-site https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby-starter-hello-world...
3.) And from your TERMINAL type gatsby develop
