This line in git-1.8.2: git config --system http.sslCAPath /etc/ssl/certs
tries to write to /usr/etc/gitconfig which, of course, doesn't exist, or should I say, there is nothing that has created /usr/etc on my system. There are a number of ways around this. 1) install /usr/etc/gitconfig before running the git config command 2) Don't use --system and create a .git/config file. 3) Use --global and git config will write to ~/.gitconfig What I decided to do was the following: git config --file /etc/gitconfig http.sslCAPath /etc/ssl/certs and then: cat > /etc/profile.d/git.sh << "EOF" export GIT_CONFIG=/etc/gitconfig EOF to set up the GIT_CONFIG env variable. I'm sure there are more options but I didn't investigate any further.
