   I managed to fix it.... apparently both plugins required installing them with full https://www.github.com/user/plugin name instead of just /user/plugin name. This way, they both install and update just fine....

   Hmm, that is strange.
   Basically, full name or abbreviation name should not affect installing/upgrading behavior.
   (FYI, abbreviation of https://www.github.com/user/plugin is user/plugin, not /user/plugin)

   failed to get HEAD commit hash: reference not found

   Does this problem still occur in your environment? (by uninstalling w0rp/ale with volt rm -r -p w0rp/ale, and install again with volt get w0rp/ale)
   In my environment, I can't reproduce it.

   failed to upgrade plugin: gitconfig 'branch.master.remote' is not found

   I guess it's because installation was failed.
   The repository might be invalid state, but I don't know the reason yet...

   Thanks for your response. I have run the commands as you said, and now it works. I managed to get all the plugins to be in the 'github.com' folder

   Actually, let me correct myself:
   There is something a bit strange going on... I removed those two plugins (w0rp/ale and davidhalter/jedi-vim) again using your command and also went into the folders to manually delete the confs and repos.
   Then I fresh installed them with the other command and they install fine
   BUT,
   when I try to run "volt get -l -u" to update all plugins, these two give a warning message:
   [WARN] failed to clone, try to execute "git clone --recursive https://www.github.com/davidhalter/jedi-vim /home/aviany/.vim/volt/repos/www.github.com/davidhalter/jedi-vim" instead...: empty git-upload-pack given
   [WARN] failed to clone, try to execute "git clone --recursive https://www.github.com/w0rp/ale /home/aviany/.vim/volt/repos/www.github.com/w0rp/ale" instead...: empty git-upload-pack given

   and on the end of text, they give:

   • www.github.com/davidhalter/jedi-vim > installed
   • www.github.com/w0rp/ale > installed

   which again installs them in a separate "www.github.com" directory and also duplicates the same plugin.
   I don't know why is it failing to clone only during an update...

   Could you give me ~/volt/lock.json file?

   And I was wrong, w0rp/ale is abbreviation to github.com/w0rp/ale, not www.github.com/w0rp/ale .

   volt/pathutil/pathutil.go

   Line 37 in 8f2139f

   m[2] = "github.com"

   please use abbreviated notation or github.com/w0rp/ale .

   also went into the folders to manually delete the confs and repos.

   volt rm -r -p deletes also confs(-p) and repos(-r).
   If confs and repos are not deleted, it's a bug.

   which again installs them in a separate "www.github.com" directory and also duplicates the same plugin.

   Do you mean that plugin directories are duplicate in "www.github.com" and "github.com" directories?

   lock.zip

   Here is my $VOLTPATH/lock.json zipped.

   I tried again the command "volt rm -r -p" and it works. I think what happened was, that I deleted w0rp/ale plugin in the github.com folder, but was surprised to still see them still in the www.github.com folder, so I deleted them manually, even though I should separately delete them with another command, so there is no issue...

   When I said duplicate, I meant, that there is the exact same plugin in the github.com and www.github.com directories. I don't know if that's a problem for volt or not, but it's confusing to me...

   hmm, okay.
   I feel this problem, a duplication of github.com and www.github.com is not neccesary to care for volt.
   Users have the freedom of choosing plugin's domain name, even if it is wrong.
