How to force brew using ssh version repository instead of https?

[yarcowang]

Recently i met this problem when work with github, and change the remote url from https to ssh could solve it.

error: RPC failed; result=52, HTTP code = 0
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

But i don't know whether there a setting could make homebrew switch between https version and ssh version.

Are you talking about the Homebrew repository itself, or a specific formula?

I'm not quite sure..everything in github's repository has such problem...
see this:

$ brew tap homebrew/php
Cloning into '/usr/local/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-php'...
error: RPC failed; result=52, HTTP code = 0
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

I think brew might use https version of the repository, so maybe there are chance to add such option.

If you're having trouble cloning over https from github in general, you can put something like this in your git config:

[url "git@github.com:"]
    insteadOf = "https://github.com/"
