HTTPS access for Github on OSX

instructions.md

I was having issues with upgrading perlbrewon OSX Lion. self-upgrade did not upgrade. This command worked fine on Linux. This issue can be found at: App-perlbrew #226

Following steps helped resolve this issue

1. Using Firefox download the following certificates

   1. DigiCertHighAssuranceEVCA-1.pem
   2. DigiCertHighAssuranceEVRootCA.pem
   3. github.com.pem
   4. GTECyberTrustGlobalRoot.pem

2. This can be done by clicking on the 🔒 in the address bar; then More information -> Security -> View Certificate -> Details -> Certificate Hierarchy

   • Select each one and export as a *.pem file

3. sudo mkdir /usr/ssl/certs
   mv *pem /usr/ssl/certs/
   cd /usr/ssl/certs && c_rehash

This will install only the certificates required for Github access. If you need all that are available; get it from http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem
