Git hub repositories not found

Postby schomosport » Sun Apr 21, 2019 3:48 pm

The instructions appear straightforward enough however both of the following

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/expressif/esp-idf.git
and
$ git clone -b v3.2 --recursive https://github.com/expressif/esp-idf.git esp-idf-v3.2

return the following error

remote: Repository not found.
fatal: repository 'https://github.com/expressif/esp-idf.git/' not found

OK so I can install via zip download
Download an archive with submodules included

Attached to this release is an esp-idf-v3.2.zip archive. It includes .git directory and all the submodules, so can be used out of the box. This archive is provided for users who have connectivity issues preventing them from cloning from GitHub.

This archive can also be downloaded from Espressif's download server:
https://dl.espressif.com/dl/esp-idf/rel ... f-v3.2.zip

but surely I cannot be the only person struggling with this (tried many times) - what's wrong? Thanks.

git clone -b v3.2 --recursive https://github.com/expressif/esp-idf.git esp-idf-v3.2
Note that you spell the name of our company with an S, not with an X. (And you're right in that you probably aren't the first one making that mistake.)

Thanks! Not helped by my repeatedly typing expressif into the command window but then using cut and paste to copy the URL off the 'Get Started' page which takes me to the required git hub page. And so this self-reinforces the error as I check and check again that I have correctly typed the command but every time missing the expressif in place of espressif. Possibly highest error rate where English is the first language?
