I have successfully clone my BitBucket repo to my personal machine for development. However, when I try to do it into my test domain on Go Daddy shared server site I get the following:

$git clone https://HomeByHome@bitbucket.org/my-stuff/my-app.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/myDomain/public_html/my-app/.git/
fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'https'

I have searched and I have not found a solution. Go Daddy is guessing that the problem is that I need sudo to do the clone and I can't because I am on a shared server. 

Does anyone have any idea

It isn't precisely that you need sudo; you need the development libraries for cURL, but if you don't have sudo access to the box then you can't install curl-devel or libcurl4-openssl-dev or whatever the package is for that system.

If you can't install the right libraries, then you won't be able to clone or push or pull over HTTPS, unfortunately. You might still be able to work with SSH, though, assuming they permit the traffic.
