“Unable to find remote helper for ‘https'” during git clone

It looks like not having (lib)curl-devel installed when you compile git can cause this.

If you install (lib)curl-devel, and then rebuild/install git, this should solve the problem:

$ yum install curl-devel
$ # cd to wherever the source for git is
$ cd /usr/local/src/git-1.7.9  
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install

This worked for me on Centos 6.3.

If you don’t have yum, you can download the source to curl-devel here:

If you are running Ubuntu instead:

sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
