Protocol https not supported or disabled in libcurl using Git

I have a few github repos and they have been working fine for the last few months.
However, a few days ago I started getting a strange error when trying to push
and pull:

error: Protocol https not supported or disabled in libcurl while
accessing https: ... fatal: HTTP request failed

I have not changed anything that I am aware of, so not sure
where the error is coming from. Thanks in advance.

if it happens in Windows, start the Git terminal as administrator.

Perhaps you messed with LD_LIBRARY_PATH

I built a package that re-pointed the environmental variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH in my ~/.bash_profile. This broke my git; I got the aforementioned libcurl error due to gits dependency on curl:

[user@host folder]$ git push
fatal: unable to access 'https://x-access-token:[email protected]/project/repository.git/': Protocol https not supported or disabled in libcurl

The solution is to fix LD_LIBRARY_PATH as you run git with an alias:

# Fix problem with libcurl
alias git="LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib git"

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/project/lib

And then...

[user@host folder]$ source ~/.bash_profile
[user@host folder]$ git push

I had the same error on macos and homebrew. When i tried-> git clone ... the return was:

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/....': Protocol https not supported or disabled in libcurl

I did:

rm '/usr/local/bin/git'

as it mentioned on:

brew link git

Then i did a git clone again and a keychain popup box appeared and cklicked accept.Then it worked.

The first answer is correct though in my case it was not PureData and I even couldn't found what program was conflicting. So I searched the libcurl.dll in C drive and cut it from SysWOW64 folder and pasted on desktop. Looked into its details and it was by some "shenzhen moyea software" which on google led me to youtube converted once installed by my lil bro. Anyways removing the file made the git working again.

If someone unable to solve the libcurl issue, you can apply this fix

  1. Edit .git/config file under your repo directory
  2. Find url= entry under section [remote "origin"]
  3. Get the ssh url from github for your repository and replace the https url in the config file
  4. Save config file and close it. Now you can use git.

This error appears if you install Pure Data, may be it's your case.Here is described conflict between Pure Data and git. Pure Data installer put it's own libcurl-4.dll in system32 folder.

Even if you didn't install Pure Data there is probably another libcurl-4.dll somwhere in your library path which is loaded before libcurl-4.dll from installed git location.

Maybe you have different libcurl.dll versions installed and one of them is overwriting the github one(that does support https).

I don't know what's your OS, but in windows you have to change the PATH settings, so it will point to the right libcurl.dll (do a libcurl search on c:\ to know where is the github one).

In my case it was the Pure Data install that messed up with libcurl.dll from github.

Hope it helps.
