SSL certificate issue while creating git clone with TortoiseGit

Question

I want to clone the git repository with the help of TortoiseGit, but I am getting error :

error: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details: error:1

Answer 1

All the top answers are really dangerous! Do not disable SSL verification globally!

Instead, use the excellent answer in another thread and very selectively allow a self-signed certificate for a specific site.

Edit the global .gitconfig file to include

[http "https://example.com"]
    sslCAInfo = C:\\Users\\\\Documents\\ssl\\example.com.crt

The CRT file itself can be obtained in multiple ways. You can just save it using Firefox, store it somewhere safe and point your config to it.
