[SOLVED] wget Command Not Working

Whenever I try to use the wget command to get download a file from aur.archlinux.org/x.git, it couldn't be found.
For example:
  wget https://aur.archlinux.org/spotify.git
  ...
  Connecting to aur.archlinux.org...
  HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found
  2017-04-08 19:18:01 ERROR 404: Not Found

The same goes for discord-canary
What should I do?

Re: [SOLVED] wget Command Not Working

First, there is a typo in the url.  Second, why would you want to use wget on a git repo.  Use `git clone ...`

Thanks! 'Git clone' works!
I was using wget because I forgot to download/install the git repo
