Chromium depot_tools download

During download of depot_tools of chromium browser using git in linux, we may get the following error

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

root@aphone-ubuntu:~/chromium_src# git clone https://git.chromium.org/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git

Initialized empty Git repository in /root/Chromium_Src/depot_tools/.git/

error: Couldn't resolve host 'git.chromium.org' while accessing https://git.chromium.org/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git/info/refs

fatal: HTTP request failed

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this error may occur due to http proxy or firewall behind which we are trying to use git. Try setting the global htty proxy config for git. It worked for me.

git config --global http.proxy http://proxy:8080

// To check the proxy settings

git config --get http.proxy




After setting the above try  #git clone "url" .
