git-flow: fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/nvie/gitflow.git/': SSL certificate problem: Couldn't understand the server certificate format

git-flow won't install, tried clean then install. Issue looks very similar to #45704

if I do git config --list it does show user.name and user.email.

$ /usr/bin/git --version
git version 2.4.9 (Apple Git-60)

$ git --version
git version 2.6.2

$ xcodebuild -version
Xcode 7.1
Build version 7B91b

#45704 was about the error:

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/nvie/gitflow.git/': Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to github.com:-67674

That is different from the error in your log, which is:

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/nvie/gitflow.git/': SSL certificate problem: Couldn't understand the server certificate format

I am not able to reproduce this problem. Maybe there was a temporary server issue which has already been resolved? Please try again.
