Error while installing vim-pandoc-syntax-git

I was unable to install vim-pandoc-syntax-git with yay. Below is the console output I received. The error says it failed to connect to github.com but I can ping github.com successfully.  I don't know what I can do to resolve this issue, all the mirrors are up to date.
Any suggestions or help is appreciated.
Thanks, Leo

I'm successfully cloning from GitHub, though:

Replace the "git://" url in the source array with "git+https://".

I can also manually clone it from GitHub but I don't know how that helps me getting it installed.

Re: Error while installing vim-pandoc-syntax-git

Github no longer responds to git:// urls.  Fix the PKGBUILD as noted in my previous post.  You may also want to comment on the package page or otherwise let the maintainer know so they can fix the source url.

Re: Error while installing vim-pandoc-syntax-git

Thanks, I fixed ~/.cache/yay/vim-pandoc-syntax-git/PKGBUILD as you suggested and reran yay, this time selecting None for cleanBuild but yay retrieves & clones package again from GitHub and wipes the fix. How can I tell yay not to clone it and just proceed?

Re: Error while installing vim-pandoc-syntax-git

I have no idea.  You really shouldn't be using yay.  Just use makepkg.
