The unauthenticated git protocol on port 9418 is no longer supported

I have been using GitHub actions for quite some time but today my deployments started failing. Below is the error from GitHub action logs

Command: git
Arguments: ls-remote --tags --heads git://github.com/adobe-webplatform/eve.git
Directory: /home/runner/work/stackstream-fe/stackstream-fe
Output:
fatal: remote error: 
  The unauthenticated git protocol on port 9418 is no longer supported.

Upon investigation, it appears that the below section in my yml file is causing the issue.

    - name: Installing modules
      run: yarn install

Answer:

 

Try using the following command before installing:

git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://

better use the reduced version git config --global url."https://github.com/".insteadOf git://github.com/
