So I encounter this "bash: Is a directory" error while trying to run the following command on my Arch Linux VirtualBox. GNU bash version 4.3.30(1).
/home/minix git clone git://git.minix3.org/minix src
I have checked if I have git installed. And it is in /usr/bin/git.
I am completely lost, so any help would be much appreciated.

The error is shown because you're trying to run /home/minix as a command (with git clone ... as its parameters).
Why is that directory name there? Did you add it for a specific reason? Did it get copypasted off the web along with the rest of the command? If not, the following should be enough:
git clone git://git.minix3.org/minix

Yes I took it from a tutorial slides and the OS was Knoppix (unknown to me) and I mistakened the directory with the command line. Pretty stupid... Thanks anyway. – Highlights Factory – 2015-10-25T14:28:34.393
Knoppix is just a Linux no different from Arch. – user1686 – 2015-10-25T14:29:55.843
mixed up $ and # at the end of the pwd. – Highlights Factory – 2015-10-25T18:07:50.987
