I get the following error when running

git clone https://www.my-repository.com/myrepo.git MyRepoName

fatal: unable to access 'https://www.my-repository.com/myrepo.git': Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to www.my-repository.com:-9850

(repository URL is fictive)

The repository is valid, same command line works fine on 10.10 machine, and same command line used to work before I upgraded to El-Capitan.

Please help...

  • Which git are you using - the one that comes with Xcode, or did you install a newer git from e.g. Homebrew or MacPorts ? – Paul R Aug 10 '15 at 13:10
  • I also get the same error when trying to pull/fetch an existing repository – Nili Aug 10 '15 at 13:10
  • @PaulR I reinstalled git: brew reinstall git. Completed successfully. – Nili Aug 10 '15 at 13:11
  • @PaulR I now have git version 2.4.5 – Nili Aug 10 '15 at 13:12
  • OK - probably just the general vagaries of running a pre-release beta OS - if there is some reason why you need to run 10.11 then consider a dual boot system so that you can do stuff where reliability is important with 10.10 and use 10.11 beta only when necessary. Also try the Apple git that comes with Xcode - it's older but it's more likely to have been tested with 10.11. – Paul R Aug 10 '15 at 13:17
  • @PaulR how do I try the Apple git? Meaning I need to downgrade / override mine? – Nili Aug 10 '15 at 13:19
  • Assuming you've installed Xcode and the Command Line Tools package then the Apple git is at `/usr/bin/git` and the Homebrew git is at `/usr/local/bin/git`. Set your `PATH` accordingly, or use the full path when running git if you just want to try a quick experiment. – Paul R Aug 10 '15 at 13:21
  • @PaulR Same failure in both :-( – Nili Aug 10 '15 at 13:23
  • OK - back to 10.10 then... – Paul R Aug 10 '15 at 13:27
  • But see this answer for some debugging tips first: http://stackoverflow.com/a/20492254/253056 – Paul R Aug 10 '15 at 13:29

I had similar issues with Homebrew on 10.11. I was able to overcome them by updating Xcode, GIT, and Homebrew.

Though they do warn that the pre-release version of OS X is not supported, I've found that at this point most packages have been updated.

I updated Xcode through the App Store, then opened it to accept the new terms.

Then at the command line I ran:

brew install git

Then: 

brew update

I was then back to installing other packages immediately.

Do: 

 xcode-select --install

It worked for me.
