repo init using git:// doesn't work

[rumplestilzken]

repo init -u git://github.com/minimal-manifest-twrp/platform_manifest_twrp_lineageos.git -b twrp-14.1

manifests:
fatal: unable to connect to github.com:
github.com[0: 140.82.114.3]: errno=Connection timed out

manifests: sleeping 4.0 seconds before retrying

Swapping http:// for git:// gets me a working repo to sync

curl -L <manifest_url>/default.xml -o .repo/manifests/default.xml

mkdir -p .repo/local_manifests
curl -L <manifest_url>/twrp-extras.xml -o .repo/local_manifests/twrp-extras.xml

If there are any snippet files, download them as well

curl -L <manifest_url>/snippets/<snippet_file> -o .repo/local_manifests/<snippet_file>
