Cloning package from AUR not working

I tried installing the minecraft installer from the AUR and it spits this out.

$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/minecraft-launcher.git
Cloning into 'minecraft-launcher'...
remote: Not Found
fatal: repository 'https://aur.archlinux.org/minecraft-launcher.git/' not found

Am i doing something wrong?
This happens for every aur package i attempt to install.

Re: Cloning package from AUR not working

wtf ok i ran the git clone command again and it just worked...  same exact spelling too.

$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/minecraft-launcher.git/
Cloning into 'minecraft-launcher'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 248, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (248/248), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (142/142), done.

Receiving objects: 100% (248/248), 61.32 KiB | 815.00 KiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (106/106), done.

I would still like to know what caused this problem in the first place so i can avoid it happening again.

Re: Cloning package from AUR not working

The git was down. It's not down anymore.

If it's ever down again while the actual page is still up, just download snapshot and makepkg from that instead. Same results, and bypasses git entirely.
