[Git] Cannot clone acpi_call repo

I want to fully turn off my discrete gpu, and for that I want to install acpi_call. So to install it I tried 2 things:
#1  Using yaourt, which got stuck at the "Cloning acpi_call git repo" and then gave an error 

 fatal: unable to connect to github.com:
github.com[0: 192.30.252.130]: errno=Connection timed out

Since this didn't work, I tried this:

#2 Downloading acpi_call from AUR and trying to build it, but everytime I tried to use

pacman -U

after

makepkg -S

I got an error saying  Corrupted package/ Invalid package

I need to install acpi_call.
Somebody please help me out..?

'makepkg -S' doesn't do what you think it does. Re-read 'man makepkg'.

Well it says "connection timed out" which means that the server is unreachable and you should try later, or it's blocked on your network.

WorMzy, Yeah, Now I know why the #2 way gave me that error
r0b0t,  the thing is that I can manually clone it.. but using yaourt I cannot clone it.. I tried to edit the PKGBUILD too, but didn't get it right I guess.

If you have an nvidia card, you could also try bbswitch instead of the generic acpi_call.
