Hey there! I’ve run into this exact error on CentOS 7 a handful of times—it’s almost always tied to missing dependencies during Git installation or conflicting config settings. Let’s work through the fixes step by step:

1. Check if the HTTPS remote helper exists #

First, let’s confirm Git has the necessary helper to handle HTTPS connections. Run this command to list Git’s remote helper files:

ls -la $(git --exec-path)/git-remote-*

Look for git-remote-https in the output. If it’s missing, that means your Git installation wasn’t compiled with HTTPS support (super common if you built Git from source without required system libraries).

2. Install dependencies and recompile Git (if helper is missing) #

CentOS 7 needs specific development libraries to build Git with HTTPS functionality. Install them first:

sudo yum install curl-devel openssl-devel expat-devel gettext-devel zlib-devel

Then recompile your Git 2.27.0 installation:

1. Grab the Git 2.27.0 source archive (you can use wget https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-2.27.0.tar.gz if you don’t have it already)
2. Extract the archive: tar -xvf git-2.27.0.tar.gz
3. Move into the extracted folder: cd git-2.27.0
4. Configure the build with HTTPS support: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local (use your original install prefix if you chose a different one)
5. Compile and install: make && sudo make install

3. Test conflicting Git config settings #

Looking at your config output, there’s a line that might be interfering with HTTPS remote handling:

file:/users/iess/.gitconfig url.https://.insteadof=git+https://

Let’s temporarily disable this rewrite rule to test if it’s the culprit:

git config --global --unset url.https://.insteadof

Now try running git push origin master again. If this fixes the issue, the insteadOf rule was misconfigured. You can either leave it removed or adjust it to target only specific URLs if you need it for Git LFS.

4. Verify Git LFS setup #

Since your config includes Git LFS filters, make sure LFS is properly installed and initialized:

git lfs install --force

This ensures LFS’s helpers are correctly registered, which can sometimes resolve remote helper conflicts.
