The problem might be SSL/TLS related. https://githubengineering.com/crypto-removal-notice/ I suspect that my setup still uses tlsv1 or tlsv1.1. I've tried to explicitly set git to use tlsv1.2 in my .gitconfig file like this: [http] sslVersion = tlsv1.2 I've tried to re-compile git with OpenSSL and GnuTLS. All give the same error. git clone https://github.com/OnionIoT/source.git Cloning into 'source'... * Couldn't find host github.com in the .netrc file; using defaults * Trying 192.30.253.112... * TCP_NODELAY set * Connected to github.com (192.30.253.112) port 443 (#0) * ALPN, offering http/1.1 * Cipher selection: ALL:!EXPORT:!EXPORT40:!EXPORT56:!aNULL:!LOW:!RC4:@STRENGTH * successfully set certificate verify locations: * CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CApath: /etc/ssl/certs * error:1409442E:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:tlsv1 alert protocol version * Curl_http_done: called premature == 1 * stopped the pause stream! * Closing connection 0 fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/OnionIoT/source.git/': error:1409442E:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:tlsv1 alert protocol version lev@jive:~/git$ unset GIT_SSL_VERSION lev@jive:~/git$ git clone https://github.com/OnionIoT/source.git Cloning into 'source'... * Couldn't find host github.com in the .netrc file; using defaults * Trying 192.30.253.112... * TCP_NODELAY set * Connected to github.com (192.30.253.112) port 443 (#0) * ALPN, offering http/1.1 * Cipher selection: ALL:!EXPORT:!EXPORT40:!EXPORT56:!aNULL:!LOW:!RC4:@STRENGTH * successfully set certificate verify locations: * CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CApath: /etc/ssl/certs * error:1409442E:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:tlsv1 alert protocol version * Curl_http_done: called premature == 1 * stopped the pause stream! * Closing connection 0 fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/OnionIoT/source.git/': error:1409442E:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:tlsv1 alert protocol version I can connect to other git servers without any error. This is a debian stable system with the following components: git version 2.11.0 libcurl 7.52.1 OpenSSL 1.0.2l Is there any way to know what is the exact protocol used? Are there any workaround, fix for this issue? Any help welcome.

Have you tried git -c http.sslVersion=tlsv1.2 clone ? This should override any settings files. > I've tried to re-compile git with OpenSSL and GnuTLS.

This is a debian > stable system with the following components: > > git version 2.11.0 > libcurl 7.52.1 > OpenSSL 1.0.2l This OpenSSL version is certainly recent enough to support TLSv1.2. Are you sure you ran the newly compiled git binary?
