There are ongoing discussions on this:

- [COMP: Disabling git protocol by default by RafaelPalomar · Pull Request #5980 · Slicer/Slicer · GitHub](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/pull/5980)
- [2021.11.02 Weekly Meeting](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/2021-11-02-weekly-meeting/20436)

I’m currently testing if configuring with `Slicer_USE_GIT_PROTOCOL=OFF` is a workaround for a complete build while this is sorted out. I’ll post my findings here
