git:// not working anymore, can't change git:// to https://

[frankk19]

Hello,

it would be a lot of fun to have my own shabitica running.

When I try to build shabitica on NixOS 21.05, then the build is stopping:

exporting git://github.com/habitrpg/vuejs-datepicker.git (rev 5d237615463a84a23dd6f3f77c6ab577d68593ec) into /nix/store/fxnrc3799iylgkmrc469w2gffhwg97iw-vuejs-datepicker-5d23761
Initialized empty Git repository in /nix/store/fxnrc3799iylgkmrc469w2gffhwg97iw-vuejs-datepicker-5d23761/.git/
fatal: unable to connect to github.com:
github.com[0: 140.82.121.3]: errno=Connection timed out

The git:// is not working anymore.

Normally I would change the git:// to https:// with e. g. "git config --global url.https://.insteadOf git://"
or change it /etc/gitconfig to

[url "https://"]
insteadOf = git://

But since the buildscript is running as nixosbld1, it does ignore the git:// to https:// changes in the /etc/gitconfig".

Do you maybe have a workaround for this?

Best regards, Frank
