Me working in Windows, so for Git I downloaded and installed msysGit-fullinstall-1.7.3.1 from msysgit. And run as specified there. Then I tried to get Gallery application from Android open source project, as specified there in my git console:

git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/packages/apps/Gallery.git

it shows the following error No such file or directory

alt text

What did I miss here? I don't if know is this the correct way to get code from Android on Windows.

You misspelled the hostname in your screen capture. I just tried it with the hostname you specified, and received the message:

$ git clone git://android.git.kernal.org/platform/packages/apps/Gallery.git
Cloning into Gallery...
android.git.kernal.org[0: 68.171.33.192]: errno=Connection timed out
fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection timed out)

It's kernel.org, not kernal.org.

I also have mysis git for windows (version 1.7.3.1-preview20101002)... I pasted your command in and it worked!

$ git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/packages/apps/Gallery.git
Cloning into Gallery...

$ ls Gallery

Is it possible there's a firewall blocking your connection? - http://support.github.com/discussions/repos/957-cant-clone-over-http-or-git
