downloading failed from github using Git LFS

Question

I tried to use git clone to download repository from this repository. When I used

git clone https://github.com/eshijia/knowledge-graph-keras.git

I get the following error :

Error downloading object: data/freebase15k/freebase_15k-id2entity.pkl (d40c058):                                                             Smudge error: Error downloading data/freebase15k/freebase_15k-id2entity.pkl (d4                        0c05819ce4431249d27970c5c6abbd4a09b9616f3321c5082227be7a5eea0d): LFS: Get https:                                                             //github-cloud.s3.amazonaws.com/alambic/media/127872792/d4/0c/d40c05819ce4431249 d27970c5c6abbd4a09b9616f3321c5082227be7a5eea0d?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256& X-Amz-Credential=AKIAIMWPLRQEC4XCWWPA%2F20180619%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request &X-Amz-Date=20180619T071649Z&X-Amz-Expires=3600&X-Amz-Signature=e4c596e3046463c5 0dc27e23ca22fbb036a9aa25f48449467af2b3b71117e8da&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&actor_ id=0&token=1: dial tcp 219.76.4.4:443: connectex: A connection attempt failed be                                                              cause the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or es                                                            tablished connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status' and retry the checkout with 'git checkout -f HEAD'

However, if I downloaded the data/freebase15k/freebase_15k-id2entity.pkl directly from the original github page, the pkl file could be downloaded well.

Any solution for this?

PS: my git version is 2.17.1.windows.2

Answer 1

Rewiev the fails the GIT-LFS

Connection

A solution can be caused by a bad connection.

Bad installation of Git LFS

There’s an issue with the LFS install on your drive. The only way I was able to solve it was to:

• Remove Repos on HDD that are failing. Uninstall any instances of git-lfs

• Install git-lfs for windows

• Verify in the repo dropdown in SourceTree that git-lfs in initialized

• Open up Git shell, and navigate to local repo just cloned

• Type git lfs install

• Type git pull

• Type git lfs pull

Alternatives if no immediate solution is found

Download by parts

La web minhaskamal.github.io allows you to download the desired folder of a project, you just have to indicate the url and that's it, it's convenient and easy.

Download as zip from github

Another alternative will be to download from the same repository:

Clone > Download Zip

Third-party software

You can also use it with:

• IDE that supports Git and where you can try to download the repository.

• GUI Clients: GIT download/gui/
