I tried to create a git repo with the instructions from "source.android.com/source/downloading.html#installing-repo"

but I get the following error when trying to initialize the repo in the working directory (using Ubuntu):

:~/workdir$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/a/platform/manifest
fatal: Cannot get https://gerrit.googlesource.com/git-repo/clone.bundle
fatal: error [Errno -2] Name or service not known

I have created the ~/.netrc file with generated password and also set the HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY variables.
When I try to access the above clone.bundle link through a browser, I get "not found" error.
Please let me know if some additional settings need to be done. Thanks in advance.

error

fatal: Cannot get https://gerrit.googlesource.com/git-repo/clone.bundle 
fatal: error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:590)
you can modify this repo file for this issue, please follow the below commands
sudo cp /usr/bin/repo /usr/bin/repo_bak
sudo vi /usr/bin/repo
insert the below detail after 'import sys'
import ssl
ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context
then save this file, and retry again
The second line of my error was different:
fatal: Cannot get https://gerrit.googlesource.com/git-repo/clone.bundle
fatal: error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:581)
But the remark in the question above worked for me (download clone.bundle, and use the --repo-url option).
It gave however errors in the python code in .repo/.
But I ignored that, and the repo sync command succeeded.
                Hello , I am also getting the same error as you have reported.Can you please explain your steps.I didnt get --repo-url option .Many thanks in advance !

                You need to manually download clone.bundle with your browser, e.g. to ~/Downloads. Then do 'repo init -u .... --repo-url ~/Downloads/clone.bundle'

Downloading Repo source from https://gerrit.googlesource.com/git-repo
fatal: Cannot get https://gerrit.googlesource.com/git-repo/clone.bundle
fatal: error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:852)
fatal: cloning the git-repo repository failed, will remove '.repo/repo'
The problem seems due to Python 3.6 on MacOS that comes with its own private copy of OpenSSL. That means the trust certificates in the system are no longer used as defaults by the Python ssl module. To fix that, you need to install a certifi package in your system.
i have solved with:
open /Applications/Python\ 3.6/Install\ Certificates.command
I had a somewhat similiar issue but I was able to download https://gerrit.googlesource.com/git-repo/clone.bundle in my browser, so once I did that I could use the undocumented repo parameter from this answer: http://stackoverflow.com/a/18899032/85472 like so:
repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/a/platform/manifest --repo-url <location-where-you-downloaded-clone.bundle>
                ...this is a buggy tool from Google.  If you put the bundle e.g. in your directory where you're working from, be sure to provide the absolute path or the path RELATIVE TO YOUR USER DIRECTORY i.e. ~. It appears the tool mistakenly interprets e.g. './' as a url.
