Some large corporations may set up their fancy corporate firewall to block the git protocol, in extreme instances they may even block ssh generally with the exception of a limited set of provides.

While engineers working for these companies may think such policies are outdated and fail to consider modern development practices, it is what it is.

Fortunately https is usually unblocked in such cases and has been since some time in the 1990s (or early 2000s at the latest).

To assist the engineers working behind such corporate firewalls, it would be handy to configure the default checkout to use https if a repository is not specified.

  • Check if git://develop.git.wordpress.org/ checkout fails
  • If failed, checkout https://github.com/wordpress/wordpress-develop
