title: error:1407742E:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert protocol version
body: <p>I am having and old Macbook running Osx Lion 10.7.5 which is the highest upgrade that it supports.
  On running git clone I get this error.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Veers-Macbook:~ Veer$ git clone https://github.com/heroku/python-getting-started.git
  Cloning into 'python-getting-started'...
  fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/heroku/python-getting-started.git/': error:1407742E:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert protocol version
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Based on other similar questions, my system details are as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Veers-Macbook:~ Veer$ which git
  /usr/local/git/bin/git
  
  Veers-Macbook:~ Veer$ git --version
  git version 2.3.5
  
  Veers-Macbook:~ Veer$ git config http.sslVersion
  tlsv1.2
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I ran these two commands</p>
  
  <pre><code>    git config --global --unset http.sslVersion
      git config --global --add http.sslVersion tlsv1.2
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>To verify I ran the config file</p>
  
  <pre><code> Veers-Macbook:~ Veer$ git config --global --list
   user.name=Gurupratap Matharu
   user.email=gurupratap.matharu@gmail.com
   credential.helper=osxkeychain
   core.excludesfile=/Users/admin/.gitignore
   mergetool.sublime.cmd=subl -w $MERGED
   mergetool.sublime.trustexitcode=false
   merge.tool=sublime
   alias.gui=!sh -c '/usr/local/git/libexec/git-core/git-gui'
   http.sslversion=tlsv1.2
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Looks like the config file has the http tlsv1.2 but the error still persists.</p>
  
  <p>could you guide how can I fix this. My only aim is to use github via the command line.</p>
