Git: fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'https'

[F21]

I am unable to clone git repos over https:

λ git clone https://github.com/mesos/chronos.git
Cloning into 'chronos'...
fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'https'

OS is Windows 8.1 64-bit.

The same issue on Win 7 x64

A temporary work around is to use cmder_mini and install the standalone msysgit package yourself. The downside of this is that this won't be portable if you want to bring cmder and tools on a usb stick.

cmder-mini with standalone msysgit works fine thanks @F21

I find if you delete /vendor/msysgit and install git/msysgit independent it fixes the problem.
Temp solution though. Be nice for a proper fix

This may be the same issue as #521.

Temporary workaround for #503 and #521 is to download PortableGit-1.9.5-preview20150319.7z (or newer when available) from https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/releases and extract it to vendor\msysgit.

cd cmder\vendor\msysgit
curl -k -L https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/releases/download/Git-1.9.5-preview20150319/PortableGit-1.9.5-preview20150319.7z -o git.7z
7z x -aos git.7z
