I've even downloaded the github for windows app, and it still gives me the same error. So, what do you do, when you get this error, on a windows machine, I', running Git 1.8.1. This is the error:

https://github.com/random12345@gmail.com/random.git/info/refs?service=git-receive-pack not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?
