Trouble installing private github repository using pip

It worked by using oxyum's suggestion of changing it to:

pip install git+ssh://git@github.com/matherbk/django-messages.git

Make sure you use github.com/account instead of github.com:accountsee Git+SSH dependencies have subtle (yet critical) differences from git clone

Had virtualenv activated and had to install a series of applications from github.com from a text file.

(venv)$ cat requirements.txt-e git://github.com/boto/botocore.git@develop#egg=botocore-e git://github.com/boto/jmespath.git@develop#egg=jmespath-e git://github.com/boto/s3transfer.git@develop#egg=s3transfernose==1.3.3mock==1.3.0wheel==0.24.0unittest2==0.5.1; python_version == '2.6'(venv)$ pip install -r requirements.txtIgnoring unittest2: markers 'python_version == "2.6"' don't match your environment Obtaining botocore from git+git://github.com/boto/botocore.git@develop#egg=botocore (from -r requirements.txt (line 1))Cloning git://github.com/boto/botocore.git (to develop) to ./venv/src/botocorefatal: unable to connect to github.com:github.com[0: 192.30.253.112]: errno=Connection timed outgithub.com[1: 192.30.253.113]: errno=Connection timed outCommand "git clone -q git://github.com/boto/botocore.git /home/ubuntu/utils/boto3/venv/src/botocore" failed with error code 128 in None

However, as @Robeezy suggested, edited the requirement.txt and changed from

-e git://github.com...

to

-e git+https://github.com...

That is the link provided if you were to clone from the site (only options were Clone or Download).

So, thank you! It did work finally.
