Why is repogitory url specifies "git://" ?

https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-pac-proxy-agent/blob/master/package.json#L11

  "repository": {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "git://github.com/TooTallNate/node-pac-proxy-agent.git"
  },

In an environment without Git, the following error appears.

npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall spawn git
npm ERR! path git
npm ERR! errno -2
npm ERR! enoent Error while executing:
npm ERR! enoent undefined ls-remote -h -t git://github.com/snyk/node-https-proxy-agent.git

I see a repository url with git:// for the first time.
If you have a reason for git://, I think you need to write in the README.md, including the need to install Git.

The error that you are seeing is not related to that url field in the package.json. git://github.com/snyk/node-https-proxy-agent.git is a fork from snyk, it was probably being specified by one of your dependencies. I think that fork is no longer relevant as the security issue that it was created for has since been fixed.

Closing, but let me know if you're still having troubles with this.
