[Cerowrt-devel] CeroWrt git clone - gets "Unable to find remote helper for 'https'" error

[Cerowrt-devel] CeroWrt git clone - gets "Unable to find remote helper for 'https'" error

[Rich Brown]

I was trying to use git to clone the CeroWrtScripts repository (https://github.com/richb-hanover/CeroWrtScripts) into my router, but I hit a snag. When I issue the 'git clone ...' command, I get the following error on 3.10.32-12:

---
root@cerowrt:/usr/lib/CeroWrtScripts# git clone https://github.com/richb-hanover
/CeroWrtScripts
Cloning into 'CeroWrtScripts'...
fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'https'
---

Any tips for getting this to work? Thanks.

You're missing the git https helper:

Ahah. Thanks to Toke and Dave for the solution - using the "git:" format for the URL:

# cd /usr/lib                     # or some other useful place

# git clone git://github.com/richb-hanover/CeroWrtScripts.git

# ls /usr/lib/CeroWrtScripts/
LICENSE             betterspeedtest.sh  config-cerowrt.sh   networkhammer.sh
README.md           cerostats.sh        netperfrunner.sh    tunnelbroker.sh

See the original github.com repo at: https://github.com/richb-hanover/CeroWrtScripts
