git https and github

[Lev]

Hi list,


I'm struggling with git connecting to Github.

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

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. Thank you,
Levente

This is the default, so this setting should not be needed, unless it's
overridden in some higher prioritized git config file. Have you tried

    git -c http.sslVersion=tlsv1.2 clone <URL>

? This should override any settings files.

This OpenSSL version is certainly recent enough to support TLSv1.2. Are
you sure you ran the newly compiled git binary?

(Sorry for asking stupid questions; it's sometimes difficult to get to
the root of a problem)
