title: git push error "fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'https'"
body: <p>I've added remote origin like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git remote add origin https://github.com/username/repo.git
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I push the git repository, I get this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git push -u origin master
  fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'https'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am on git 1.7.1 on Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas, greatly appreciated</p>
