 * Hi,
 * Revisr seems to be exactly what I have been looking for to manage my plugins (
   thx a lot!) but I get an error message when trying to push to Bitbucket (I am
   using the https method with username and password inside the url):
 * `fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'https'`
 * Here is the plugin status from the settings:
 * > Operating System FreeBSD
   >  Exec() Enabled true Git Install Path /usr/local/bin//
   > git Git Version git version 2.0.2 MySQL Install Path /usr/local/bin//mysql 
   > File Permissions true Repository Path /web/<censorred-by-me>/htdocs/wordpress
 * Any idea what could be wrong?

 * Hi,
 * This looks like an issue with the server configuration rather than the plugin
   itself. Are you able to try a git push from command line? If so, do you get the
   same error?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for the quick answer.
 * sadly, I cannot access the command line on the server, which is why I tried the
   plugin.

 * In that case the only thing I could really recommend would be to check with your
   host.
 * Alternatively, if you have access to FTP, and you see an “.ssh” directory in 
   FTP, you can add the “id_rsa.pub” from that folder to Bitbucket and try with 
   ssh authentication instead of https.
 * Let me know if you have any questions, thanks!
