"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
If you are trying to clone then you could use the git transport
For example: git clone git://github.com/fog/fog.git
