So if you're really about using github for your "central server", then either make all members of your team have that environment variable set or find a way to make libcurl (which Git uses for HTTP[S] transfers) not verify certs by tweaking some user's configuration file. Another way would be to install an SSL tunnel on a box in what you called "the cluster" which would listen on some port (say, 80) for plain HTTP and tunnel that traffic to github.com:443. I think that stunnel in client mode of some reverse proxy (Apache with mod_proxy, probably nginx) could do this. You would then have your team communicate with that box using plain HTTP and it would proxy the requests to the SSL-terminated github server. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
