Error downloading repository

[joeybaker]

Error message received every time sublime text is started:

Package Control: Error downloading repository. URL error unknown url type: git%20clone%20git downloading git%20clone%20git://github.com/Kronuz/SublimeLinter.git.

Did you add a repository to Package Control? If so, it looks like you pasted a git command into the Repository URL field. You can fix this by going to the Preferences > Package Settings > Package Control > Settings – User menu entry. In the file that opens, delete the repository entry.

If you are trying to do a git clone of SublimeLinter so you can hack on it, do the git clone via your terminal. Once you've done the clone, Package Control will pull down changes whenever you restart Sublime Text. If you just want to installed SublimeLinter, it is available in the default list of packages. Simply run the Install Package command from the Command Palette.

Please feel free to reopen this if this didn't solve it for you.

Got it… I figured it was user error but could really figure out what I had done wrong – thanks!

Maybe if there was some help text for "add repo URL"? I obviously interpreted that wrong.

Yes, that is a very good idea. I'll work on improving the text prompt.

I improved the prompts in version 1.2.0 (1f8671c)
