Protocol https not supported or disabled in libcurl using Git

Question

I have a few github repos and they have been working fine for the last few months.
However, a few days ago I started getting a strange error when trying to push
and pull

Answer 1

Solved the problem by removing "git" from the path C:\Program Files\Git\bin

Best Regards.

Answer 2

Maybe you have different libcurl.dll versions installed and one of them is overwriting the github one(that does support https).

I don't know what's your OS, but in windows you have to change the PATH settings, so it will point to the right libcurl.dll (do a libcurl search on c:\ to know where is the github one).

In my case it was the Pure Data install that messed up with libcurl.dll from github.

Hope it helps.

Answer 3

If someone unable to solve the libcurl issue, you can apply this fix

1. Edit .git/config file under your repo directory
2. Find url= entry under section [remote "origin"]
3. Get the ssh url from github for your repository and replace the https url in the config file
4. Save config file and close it. Now you can use git.

I had the same error on macos and homebrew. When i tried-> git clone ... the return was:

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/....': Protocol https not supported or disabled in libcurl

I did:

rm '/usr/local/bin/git'

as it mentioned on:

brew link git    

Then i did a git clone again and a keychain popup box appeared and cklicked accept.Then it worked.

In Windows (10) I was having same issue, in my system even http also didn't worked, I fixed this installing OpenSSL for windows. which I obtained from here

Hope this will help future visitors fixing the issue in straight forward way.

Answer 6

This error appears if you install Pure Data, may be it's your case.Here is described conflict between Pure Data and git. Pure Data installer put it's own libcurl-4.dll in system32 folder.

Even if you didn't install Pure Data there is probably another libcurl-4.dll somwhere in your library path which is loaded before libcurl-4.dll from installed git location.
