Last snow-leopard installer is for git 2.3.5 - can we have a newer one please?

Hi Tim, Thanks for making this installer, it really helped me (and many others I am sure).

I am running Mac os 10.8 mountain lion and have been using the system-installed git 1.8.5.2 (Apple Git-48) But now I am getting errors linking to github because they no longer support TLSv1.0 so I need to upgrade. The latest snow-leopard installer is at git 2.3.5 and I have installed this and it works. However TLS/SSL version configuration options are not supported until git 2.6 as far as I can tell. So having [http] sslVersion=tlsv1.2 in my git config seems to be ignored.

Do you have any plans to make a snow-leopard installer for git 2.6 or later? I have tried downloading the git source and doing my own make, configure, install ... but I failed in several places. Your installer worked perfectly. I'd be happy to help or test or assist in any way I can.

Thanks Jonathan

An update for old Mac would help me too. (Running 10.7 Lion on 2008 MacBook)

Or if there's some setting I can change to push commits to GitHub again, I would appreciate it.

This is the error that it's giving, if it helps:

$ git push
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/DFgraphics/GemSet.git/': error:1407742E:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert protocol version

Edit: I found something that seems to indicate that GitHub requires TLS v1.2 instead of v1.0 now. source: https://github.com/autopkg/autopkg/issues/408

Hi jecowa, Yes that is exactly right. Github requires TLSv1.2 - I have precisely this problem myself. Here is what I have discovered:

First I updated OpenSSL because 0.9.8zg came with my mac, but this does not support TLSV1.1 or 1.2. I now have OpenSSL 1.1.0g. openSSL version -a confirms this.

Secondly the Git config where you specify SSLversion=tls1.2 is not available before Git 2.6. I tried to make my own updated installer via https://github.com/paladox/git_osx_installer/releases/tag/2.11.0 I got quite a good way, modifying the required source, but failed at the point when I did not have brew installed. If you do have brew I can let you know the details of what I had to change in those files.

Thirdly, I have found out via curl -V that even though I have OpenSSL 1.1.0 my version of Curl is still using the built-in 0.9.8zg, so when I try curl --tlsv1.2 https://github.com/something I get "curl: (35) Unsupported SSL protocol version"

So now I need to figure out how to update curl. Is it a new download, or do I re-compile or re-build specifying the new OpenSSL

We will get this sorted, I am sure Jonathan

I don't know if brew will help, but I have it installed on both a MacBook running Lion and an iMac running Snow Leopard. I am interested in trying to compile it if you could tell me what to do. The iMac probably has more dev stuff on it like clang.
