I’m tired of fixing the ”fatal: unable to find remote helper for ‘https”’ error.

To manage a project, I’m using git and bitbucket. I’ve had no troubles using the Windows development environment, but Debian squeeze is giving me trouble. Only on push does the issue arise; it is not present at clone. I’m receiving this error:

fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'https'

I tried installing several versions of curl and trying to compile it with curl, but I had no luck. The response to this query was to upgrade from git version 1.7.1 to git version 1.7.7, but I’m using git version 1.7.11 instead.

Update:

My config.log says NO_CURL=”

I have no issues with curl when used with https.

Update2:

my config also says NO_OPENSSL = ”

Doing a find -name git-remote-* on root shows me the following:

Pls, suggest the best answer to fix it.

    The cause: I think this error happens because you didn’t run strace -f on this.

    Solution: You can use —exec-path or GIT EXEC PATH to alter that root.

    For instance, if I dpkg -x into /opt after moving git-core from the archive, I would then:

    export GIT_EXEC_PATH=/home/ppetraki/opt/usr/lib/git-core

    where,

    find ~/ -name git-remote-https
/home/ppetraki/opt/usr/lib/git-core/git-remote-https

    And debug by using

    strace -f $FOO/usr/bin/git clone https://uri > trace.out 2>&1
