TFS Build Agent failing to connect to HTTPS git in TFS 2017 when running as service

Question

We are using an internal certificate on our server and I\'ve followed the steps in

Answer 1

So I found a better command than disabling https verification globally, hopefully though this will be better handled in future updates to the build agent.

git config --global http."https://YOURTFS.SERVER.HERE:PORT/".sslVerify false

That will only disable it from verifying on your (hopefully internal) git server.
