fatal: I don't handle protocol 'https' [duplicate]

Question

I am trying to push some of my files from staging area to my repository.

git remote add origin https://github.com/my_name/filename.git
git push -u origin master
fatal: I don't handle protocol 'https'

I am getting this fatal error.

How to fix this ?

Answer 1

There is a good chance you have special characters somewhere in your commands according to these two SO posts:

git: fatal: I don't handle protocol '​​http'

Git Fetch returns 'fatal: I don't handle protocol https' in windows

Retype the commands and the problem should be alleviated.
