The official CMake Git repository was moved in 2017 from [https://cmake.org/cmake.git](https://cmake.org/cmake.git) to [https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake.git](https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake.git) as part of the transition to development on GitLab. The old repository was left as a mirror to keep existing scripts in the wild working. We now plan to turn off Git clone/fetch access to the old repository.
Any scripts or checkouts using URLs like
- `git://cmake.org/cmake.git`
- `http://cmake.org/cmake.git`
- `https://cmake.org/cmake.git`
or
- `git://public.kitware.com/cmake.git`
- `http://public.kitware.com/cmake.git`
- `https://public.kitware.com/cmake.git`
should be updated to use the current official repository URL:
- `https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake.git`
The old URLs will stop working for `git clone`, `git fetch`, and `git pull` in April 2020.
The [gitweb viewer](https://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git) will remain available for a while longer to keep existing links to old commits working, though no new commits will be added.
