On https://powerline.readthedocs.io/en/master/installation.html#pip-installation

I attempted to install powerline-status by running

pip install --user git+git://github.com/powerline/powerline

and it generated the following error:

 pip install --user git+git://github.com/powerline/powerline
Collecting git+git://github.com/powerline/powerline

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

For background see the referenced github blog post in the error message

Changing the installation step to use git+https instead git+git seems to work

pip install --user git+https://github.com/powerline/powerline

I was going to submit a PR for this but I now see that there is already a PR merged onto master to cover off this issue.

Yes indeed that should be fixed.

However, the build script for the docs is somehow broken (on readthedocs) and I have now means to fix it. In particular, the docs at powerline.readthedocs.io are awfully out-of-date in some places, sorry for that.
