I have setup git and cannot clone a repo using either ssh or https.  This issue is specifically about https and the error I get which is:
fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'https'

I have set the environment variables to the correct locations

GIT_EXEC_PATH=/_PRDS/PTZ/git/libexec/git-core
GIT_MAN_PATH=/_PRDS/PTZ/git/man
GIT_SHELL=/_PRDS/PTZ/bash/bin/bash
GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR=/_PRDS/PTZ/git/share/git-core/templates

PERL5LIB=/var/rocket/git/lib/perl5

I followed the recommendations in zOS git clone https://... fails helper not found git 2.14.4 to no avail sadly.

curl and openssl are installed and available via my path.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Jonathan

Hi Jonathan, 

Based on your environment variables it looks like you are attempting to use the Ported Tools version of Git delivered by Kyndryl's GSD Platform product PTZ100.  While this version of Git works ok it is now functionally stable.  The only version of Git receiving ongoing Git maintenance is the version of Git found in GSD Platform product group CDA458  (Rockets z/OS Miniconda). It has Git at 2.26.2-84. 

That said, the value you have for PERL5LIB is incorrect is should be /_PRDS/PTZ/git/share/perl/5.24.1  

As a guide, here is how I setup by environment variables for Git in Ported Tools (PTZ100), which I no longer use.

[USSENV]                                                          
PTZBASE=/_PRDS/PTZ                                                
GITBASE={$PTZBASE}/git                                            
ZGITBASE=/_APPS/zGIT                                              
_BPX_SHAREAS=YES                                                  
_BPXK_AUTOCVT=ON                                                  
_TAG_REDIR_IN=TXT                                                 
_TAG_REDIR_OUT=TXT                                                
_TAG_REDIR_ERR=TXT                                                
_CEE_RUNOPTS=FILETAG(AUTOCVT,AUTOTAG) POSIX(ON)                   
PATH=/bin:{$GITBASE}/bin:{$PTZBASE}/perl/bin:{$PTZBASE}/bash/bin  
PERL5LIB={$GITBASE}/share/perl/5.24.1                             
LIBPATH={$GITBASE}/curl/lib/                                      
GIT_SHELL={$PTZBASE}/bash/bin/bash                                
GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR={$ZGITBASE}/.zGIT-templates                      
GIT_EXEC_PATH={$GITBASE}/libexec/git-core                         

And here is how I setup my environment for Miniconda (CDA458)                                           

[USSENV]                                        
CDABASE=/_PRDS/CDA                              
ZGITBASE=/_APPS/zGIT                            
_BPX_SHAREAS=YES                                
_BPXK_AUTOCVT=ON                                
_TAG_REDIR_IN=TXT                               
_TAG_REDIR_OUT=TXT                              
_TAG_REDIR_ERR=TXT                              
_CEE_RUNOPTS=FILETAG(AUTOCVT,AUTOTAG) POSIX(ON) 
PATH={$CDABASE}/bin:/bin                        
PERL5LIB={$CDABASE}/share/perl5                 
CURL_CA_BUNDLE={$CDABASE}/etc/ssl/cacert.pem    
LIBPATH={$CDABASE}/lib/                         
GIT_SHELL={$CDABASE}/bin/bash                   
GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR={$ZGITBASE}/.zGIT-templates    
GIT_EXEC_PATH={$CDABASE}/libexec/git-core       

Also,  if your intention is to manage traditional z/OS datasets such as PS, PDS and PDSE, the I highly recommend you request GSD Platform product group ZGT140  (zGit v1.4.0).
