In terms of git, I worked around the libcrypto.so.1.0.0 issue by making a symbolic link back to the version of git installed on my machine.

```
cd ./plugins/com.dynamo.cr.dgit_1.0.0.201604041528/git/x86_64-linux
rm -rf ./bin
rm -rf ./libexec
ln -s /bin
ln -s /usr/libexec/

```

Thanks. It helped me.

The last command I use was different though.

`$ ln -s /usr/lib libexec`

Just find the directory that has git-core directory in it. The git-core directory you need is the one that has git-\* binary in it.

I use

`$ whereis git-core`

to find my right target for libexec link

mine give me

```
git-core: /usr/lib/git-core /usr/share/git-core

```

I’m using Archlinux

@sicher, maybe this information could be added to the FAQ?
