Re: [IBMiOSS] Git clone - Unable to find remote helper for http(s)

[Aaron Bartell <aaronbartell@xxxxxxxxx>]

It needs an HTTP/S-capable cURL (or similar).  I've submitted an RFE to get
this fixed but I couldn't get to the RFE site this morning so I don't have
a link for people to vote :-(

Work around is to use the git URL to access remote repos instead of https.
