unable to access 'https://github.com/google/googletest.git/'

Hi all,
I am trying to compile a project through Cmake-Gui in the windows 10 OS, but it has some mistakes like the following commands:

  Checking Build System
  Creating directories for 'googletest-populate'
  Building Custom Rule F:/ogs/opengeosys/_deps/googletest-subbuild/CMakeLists.txt
  Performing download step (git clone) for 'googletest-populate'
  Cloning into 'googletest-src'...

            3 times.
  CMake Error at googletest-subbuild/googletest-populate-prefix/tmp/googletest-populate-gitclone.cmake:31 (message):
    Failed to clone repository: 'https://github.com/google/googletest.git'

I have searched some solutions on the website which suggest me change https: to git. However, I am not using the git clone command in a Git Bash, so I can’t change that automatically generated code in the Terminal… Can anyone give me some help? I will appreciate it a lot.

You can change the clone url to git:// instead. However, I think that there are just network issues at play here which isn’t something that CMake can do much about. Does it work if you clone it manually on the command line (with https or git)?

Thanks for your advice. I have tried the conpile process again and this time the googletest module has been cloned successfully but another clone work failed… Now I am sure that it is the network problem. Maybe a more stable network is needed…
