I'm using Yeoman for an application. It uses the Bower package manager. All the URLs Bower gets from the server https://bower.herokuapp.com/packages are Git read-only URLs of the form git://github.com/components/jquery.git.
The problem is that these URLs don't work inside my institute. Probably the port is blocked.
I tried to change the URLs in lib/core/package.js of Bower to HTTPS before discovering that the URLs are fetched from the server.
So is there any way to make Bower work over Github's read-only HTTPS URLs and not GIT?
