Can't interact with GitHub Enterprise installations over macOS VPN

[aroben]

If your GitHub Enterprise instance is only accessible via VPN, you get this error on macOS:

$ GITHUB_HOST=github.my-company.com hub clone owner/repo
Get https://github.my-company.com/api/v3/repos/owner/repo: dial tcp: lookup github.my-company.com on 10.0.1.1:53: no such host

It looks like this is a problem with Go's DNS resolver. See hashicorp/terraform#3536 and golang/go#12524.

It looks like the fix is to build with CGO_ENABLED=1 on Darwin. That causes the native DNS resolver to be used, which can correctly handle VPN.

Would you be willing to use CGO for Darwin?

Thank you for reporting. Hub release process is currently set up to cross-compile and auto-publish binaries on each tagged release. If we want to use CGO_ENABLED, I don't think I would be able to publish Darwin binaries from Linux anymore. 🤔
