Error when trying to install Homebrew

Tigerbrew: homebrew forked for Tiger PPC

Tigerbrew incorporates work from sceaga's Tiger branch. It installs under the admin group, so you don't have to add yourself to the staff group.

Installation:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSkL raw.github.com/mistydemeo/tigerbrew/go)"

And here is a link for downloading Xcode:

https://developer.apple.com/downloads/download.action?path=Developer_Tools/xcode_2.5_developer_tools/xcode25_8m2558_developerdvd.dmg

Seems that you have problems connecting to github via https.

While I'm not sure what could cause it and how to fix it, you still can use git with another protocol.

Here's the commands to install homebrew in /usr/local/ from scratch using git:// instead of https://:

cd /usr/local/
git init -q
git remote add origin git://github.com/mxcl/homebrew
git fetch origin master:refs/remotes/origin/master -n
git reset --hard origin/master

That should work. Please notice that if you choose to use another directory for homebrew, you probably will have to append its ./bin directory to your environment PATH variable for comfortable usage.
