OpenWRT git clone fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'http'

Question

I'm trying to install LINC-Switch to OpenWRT and stuck on following problem:

git clone https://github.com/FlowForwarding/LINC-Switch.git

and get an error:

git fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'https'

According to this link I've compiled git package without NO_CURL flag in Makefile. I even recompile dist trying to solve the problem.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Just use git-http instead.

opkg remove git
opkg install git-http

Answer 2

Next to using git-http , as Nemo Alex suggests, you should also have the ca-bundle installed:

opkg update
opkg remove git
opkg install git-http
opkg install ca-bundle
