Resolving "fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'https'" and a warning about templates
On a live boot of Ubuntu 20.04, I was trying to clone into a private GitHub repository. I went through the hassle of installing `git`, and then `gh`, and making sure I was signed in through the terminal. I then tried to clone into the repository, and got this: ```terminal ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ gh repo clone GHUser/business-repo Cloning into 'business-repo'... warning: templates not found /usr/share/git-core/templates fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'https' exit status 128 ``` `cd`ing through the terminal, I verified that `/usr/share/git-core/templates` did indeed exist and was populated with folders and files. For the "Unable to find remote helper" issue, I found [this answer on Some Other site](https://stackoverflow.com/a/13018777/4946380), which advised running `sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev` to solve the problem on Ubuntu. I did that, uninstalled git, reinstalled git, and relaunched the terminal session, but still got the exact same errors. What do I need to do to resolve these problems, taking into account that it's a live boot with nothing pre-installed on the OS?
