Bower: Failure to install bower packages -Exit code # 128

[kopgal73]

I'm getting below error every time I try to install any package with bower. I ran https instead of git command but still getting the same error.

$ bower install jQuery
bower jQuery#* not-cached https://github.com/jquery/jquery.git#*
bower jQuery#* resolve https://github.com/jquery/jquery.git#*
bower jQuery#* ECMDERR Failed to execute "git ls-remote --tags --heads https://github.com/jquery/jquery.git", exit code of #128 fatal: unable to access ### https://github.com/jquery/jquery.git/': Failed to connect to 198.208.159.17 port 80: Timed out

Additional error details:

Make sure that git ls-remote --tags --heads https://github.com/jquery/jquery.git works for you. It's most likely a misconfiguration with git. Please also refer to this issue here. There are also threads elsewhere that might help. :cake:

Thanks a bunch @BenMann

It was the global config file which has wrong proxy information. Once I fixed that, issue is resolved quickly.
