What OS, what hardware? We've had reports of some distributions not working with sudo git and returning errors. Is this OctoPrint or DietPi?

I have no idea why the system informs me that I can't reply for 18 hours so created another account so I could reply now. Hardware is Intel Galileo Gen 2. Updated to Debian 7.6 (Wheezy)

And what happens when you enter sudo git clone https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole.git /etc/.pihole ?

Which version of git is on that image? git --version

7

root@galileo:~# git --version
git version 1.7.10.4

Okay one more trace command

GIT_TRACE=1 sudo git clone https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole.git /etc/.pihole

It doesn't look like that image and associated tools shipped with that image are going to be capable of installing the Pi-hole on the G2 with Wheezy. If git can not complete it's clone, then there's really no way to get the software onto that device.
