johnh suggested a [workaround](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/how-to-change-julia-git-settings/24730/2) in an answer to another of my posts. It works in a `try` statement for my initial setup script.

```julia
using Pkg
try
	Pkg.update()
catch
	Pkg.setprotocol!("git")
	Pkg.update()
end

```

If I find an answer to the root problem I will still post it here.

Here is additional information for the computer in question.
