Script(s) to compile Git with OpenSSL, because GnuTLS is no fun.
Why? If you get an error like the following, you probably need OpenSSL instead of GnuTLS with Git:
error: RPC failed; curl 56 GnuTLS recv error (-110): The TLS connection was non-properly terminated.
The git-openssl-ubuntu.sh script can be used to install or update existing Git-with-OpenSSL on Ubuntu-based Linux distros. A fork of git-openssl-experimental.sh.
Run the script as your regular user, not as root.
user@kubuntu:~/repos/git-openssl$ ./git-openssl-ubuntu.sh
If all runs happy, towards the end of the git compilation, you'll be promoted for some settings:
Package Docs - sure, why not?
The package documentation directory ./doc-pak does not exist.
Should I create a default set of package docs? [y]: y

To check if git was properly installed on your system, simply run the following command and observe the version output:
user@kubuntu:~$ git --version
git version 2018-09-27.openssl
If you run the setup script again, it will recompile with the latest source and install again, versioning to the year-month-day. If you had GnuTLS errors cloning before, try cloning a public git repo over HTTPS (hosted outside your company/internal network).
