Well i know it kind of late but this did the trick for me.

Open .bowerrc file and set the proxy configuration.

"proxy":"http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8080",
"https-proxy":"http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8080"

and then do a run bower install command

Hope it helps !

This issue might be caused because of your corporate network, they might have blocked some ports. Try using https instead of ssh

This is how to change: git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://
