FreeBSD having trouble pushing to GitHub

Question

I am running FreeBSD 9.2.1. I have tried pushing to GitHub via:

sudo git push -u origin master

But I get:

fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'https'

I have tried updating git to 2.17.0 and also getting a later version of curl and recompiling git. But to no avail.

What may I do about this?

Why are you using `sudo` to do a git push? That shouldn't be necessary. I have a hunch that if you fix the problem that is causing you to use `sudo`, that will fix this problem. — Robin Green, May 05 '18 at 21:39

I can’t implement the libcurl solution because it’s freebsd. I can only install curl — Ariel Baron, May 06 '18 at 09:58

cd /usr/ports/devel/git
make config

select checkbox "Data transfer support via cURL"

rebuild and reinstall git:
make deinstall
make install clean

It's checked on FreeBSD 12
