git will install, but "git clone https://..." and "git clone http://..." both fail with the output:
Cloning into '{repo}'...
warning: templates not found /usr/share/git-core/templates (note: "opkg install git" doesn't put anything in /usr/share/)
fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'https' (or 'http')
google gave me some generic tips, like uninstalling, installing curl, then reinstalling. That didn't work.
Another option is to to install curl-dev, which is isn't in opkg ... plus, I think this involves compiling git
(note: this is with a new user with sudo privileges, not with root)
Trying "git clone git@github.com:/..." fails by saying "No auth methods could be used". I'm guessing this is because openwrt's ssh isn't using the key i provided it, but I'm not sure how to add it. The way I'm used to involves "ssh-agent add..." but there is no 'ssh-agent' on openwrt.
I then tried adding my ssh key to `~/.ssh/config` like:
Host *
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/my_key
that didn't seem to affect anything at all.
What am I missing here, short of compiling my own packages?
