I am trying to get the nova code from github and I got the following error :

#git clone https://github.com/openstack/nova.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/avikki/Desktop/nt/nova/.git/
error: Failed connect to github.com:443; Operation now in progress while accessing https://github.com/openstack/nova.git/info/refs

fatal: HTTP request failed

can you suggest what to do ?

It works for me without errors. You may be experiencing connectivity issues - notice that the error description says that git Failed to connect to github.com:443. Check out this answer: GitHub - HTTPS access which offers some possible solutions.

I had this problem twice. I'm running Linux. The first time, I was on a network that required a proxy. See this link for how to fix proxy settings: How do I pull from a Git repository through an HTTP proxy?

Then I took my proxy-configured computer to a network that did not require a proxy and got this error again.

To un-configure my computer for a proxy, 

git config --global --unset http.proxy
unset http_proxy
unset https_proxy
unset ftp_proxy
unset all_proxy
unset FTP_PROXY
unset ALL_PROXY
unset HTTPS_PROXY
unset HTTP_PROXY

I'm not sure I needed to unset all of those variables, but I certainly needed more than just the first two.
