Git: fatal: I don't handle protocol '​​http'

643    Asked by BellaBlake in Data Science , Asked on Jul 19, 2021
I copy and pasted a git clone command from a web page: https://fedorahosted.org/ibus-typing-booster/ 
I got this:
user@host> git clone ​​http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/ibus-typing-booster.git
Cloning into 'ibus-typing-booster'...
fatal: I don't handle protocol '​​http'

If you are getting error “i don't handle protocol 'https” means there exists a special character between git clone and http://... when you copy and paste the whole line git clone http://.... That special character looks like a space, but it is a special Unicode character.

Once I removed this character and replace it with a real space, the error doesn't occur anymore.
