I am trying to get the nova code from github and I got the following error :

#git clone https://github.com/openstack/nova.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/avikki/Desktop/nt/nova/.git/
error: Failed connect to github.com:443; Operation now in progress while accessing https://github.com/openstack/nova.git/info/refs

fatal: HTTP request failed

can you suggest what to do ?

It works for me without errors. You may be experiencing connectivity issues - notice that the error description says that git Failed to connect to github.com:443. Check out this answer: GitHub - HTTPS access which offers some possible solutions.
