SourceTree error:1407742E:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert protocol version

Question

I\'m using SourceTree and try to clone from a general github repository, but I got this error:

fatal: unable to access \'https://github.com/mfitzp/15-

Answer 1

I am using Mountain Lion (10.8.5) so I can't get a Git version higher than 2.3.5. The only thing that worked for me was to add an SSH key to my Github account, as explained here.

And then cloning with SSH. Either use SourceTree or just git clone git@github.com:[username]/[repository].git
