Newbie git error when cloning a repository

I'm completly new to git system. I'd like to clone this nice plugin for bootstrap. Here is the user page and this should be the url of .git file:

git clone https://github.com/storborg/bootstrap.git
(asks for credentials... used mine)

Got:

Fatal: https://github.com/storborg/bootstrap/info/refs not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?

I don't know how to deal with this error and how to solve it. Any help is much appreciated, thanks.

The error means the repo doesn't exist

$ git clone https://github.com/foo/bar.git
Cloning into 'bar'...
fatal: https://github.com/foo/bar.git/info/refs not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?

The repository you are trying to clone has been deleted or renamed: https://github.com/storborg/bootstrap (it's a 404)
