Firewall issue installing npm package in angular

Question

Due to the firewall at work (at least that's what I think it is...) I cannot download an npm package required by my angular project from github. It throws an error saying that it cannot connect to github and the file or directory does not exist. The repo is https://github.com/cmelange/ECL-3D-Components#v1.0 and it does exist. Is there a way around getting this to work except for waiting for my support department to get me through the firewall, they seemingly have not had time to look and I am stuck...

I added "ecl3d": "git+https://git@github.com/cmelange/ECL-3D-Components.git#v1.0" to my package.json and ran npm i with no result so far. I have asked the support department and they are seeing me ping a request to github.com[0: 140.82.118.4] but are not allowing it.

PS C:\Users\tassc\Projects\Configurator> npm i
npm ERR! Error while executing:
npm ERR! C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.EXE ls-remote -h -t git://github.com/cmelange/ECL-3D-Components.git

try this way:`"ecl3d" : "git://github.com/cmelange/ECL-3D-Components.git#v1.0"` — Andrei, Jan 20 '20 at 09:50
Has the same result, I have edited in the console error and log file for reference. — Torben Van Assche, Jan 20 '20 at 09:54

Not sure about the relevancy of this as its about git and I am trying to use npm. Or does npm use my git settings somehow? — Torben Van Assche, Jan 20 '20 at 10:28
npm uses the git clone command internally to download the packages needed during installation. So if you are behind a proxy in your organization you need to configure it likewise. — Wisely D Cruizer, Jan 20 '20 at 10:43
Alright, I will need to check the configuration on that. Will try the link you posted. — Torben Van Assche, Jan 20 '20 at 10:44
