error RPC failed; curl 56 SSLRead() return on macOS Sierra

Overview

I picked up the book “Minna no Go Gengo” (Go for Everyone), and I’m sure many readers felt the urge to manage their Git repositories with ghq after reading it.

I had long been using peco for my Git repository navigation command, but managing repositories with ghq turned out to be really convenient.

Around that time, when I tried to clone a git repository with the ghq command, I hit the error in the title, so here’s a memo for future reference.

$ ghq get <git repository>
...
error: RPC failed; curl 56 SSLRead() return
...

It seems the git I was using did not support SSL.

Fix

Reinstall git with openssl and curl

1	$ brew reinstall git --with-brewed-curl --with-brewed-openssl

Run Again

$ ghq get <git repository>

It worked without a hitch.
