       I'm confused.  I changed that line to:


             url = https://git@github.com:sbgraves237/sbgraves237/Ecdat


       Then when I did "git pull" I got:


fatal: unable to access 
'https://git@github.com:sbgraves237/sbgraves237/Ecdat/': Port number 
ended with 's'


       ???
       Thanks,
       Spencer
