Changes proposed in this pull request:

  • The "Get the sources" section of the installation page clones the repository with git://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting.git.
  • GitHub disabled the unauthenticated git protocol (git://) in 2022, so the following instruction fails.
  • This changes the URL to https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting.git on that one line.

Tested on macOS 26.6.2: with git:// the clone fails with fatal: unable to connect to github.com; with https:// the clone succeeds.

Before

git clone git://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting.git

After

git clone https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting.git

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated the installation instructions to use an HTTPS repository clone command instead of the git:// protocol. Readers following the guide will now use HTTPS when cloning the repository. The change is limited to the documented clone command; the remaining installation guidance is unchanged.
