I would try Git over HTTPS; this should work without any setup whatsoever:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/boostorg/boost.git modular-boost

That said, there is a Github project [2] with its main boost repository, from which you can build a local Boost yourself. I did this a few month ago, as I not want to download Boost from SourceForge at all. From:https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/TryModBoost#InstallingModularBoost
And using git for windows: http://rogerdudler.github.io/git-guide/
I did a: $ git clone --recursive git@github.com:boostorg/boost.git modular-boost
clone.log
Cloning into 'modular-boost'... The authenticity of host 'github.com (192.30.252.129)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is SHA256:nThbg6kXUpJWGl7E1IGOCspRomTxdCARLviKw6E5SY8. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
yes
Warning: Permanently added 'github.com,192.30.252.129' (RSA) to the list of known hosts. Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. ~~
And the clone.log is empty. I'm not even a novice at git so not sure how to check if the repository exists or what from here. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dan.
