It returned: Operation timed out.

Have you tried downloading it again?

I just ran into this issue as well, so I'm going to reopen it.

I was able to get `sudo port install htop' to work by using the https clone URL instead of the git clone URL, ie I changed

git.url             git://github.com/AndyA/htop-osx.git

to

git.url             https://github.com/AndyA/htop-osx.git

in the Portfile

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

Replaced git: with https: in r78232.

This problem persists even with the https change for me. Here is the relevant output:

From the error message:

bad config file line 4 in /Users/mrded/.gitconfig

Fix your config file.

[ecronin (Eric Cronin)]

This new report is probably a combination of #31827 plus #31548.

My guess is that his .gitconfig isn't broken, it just contains options that only the newer macports git understands, and that the older system git port forces to be used chokes on. It's not a great solution to tell users they can't use the features of the version of git that macports itself installs, but I'll go comment on #31827 about that...
