fatal: unable to access, schannel: failed to open CA file, No such process, GitHub Desktop

Question

Full error text:

fatal: unable to access \'https://github.com/Repository_name\': schannel: failed to open CA file \'C:/Users/Username/AppData/Local/GitHubDesktop/ap

Answer 1

The error I got was: fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/{reponame}.git/': schannel: failed to open CA file 'C:/Program Files (x86)/Git/mingw64/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt': No such process

I fixed it by opening my config file located in "C:\ProgramData\Git\config" and updating the setting as follows sslCAInfo = C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt

I hope this helps someone

Answer 2

1. Type %ProgramData%/ in Windows search bar(Type here to search field at bottom left corner)
2. Go to /Git
3. Open congif file in text editor. (Preferably Notepad++ or similar, as this allows to edit the file Administrator mode. Otherwise, write permission is denied.)

4. Remove this entry from the file

   [http]
   sslCAInfo = C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
   

5. Save and close file. Try to push again, it works!

Reference:

fatal: unable to access curl-ca-bundle.crt #4836

After restarting my client following a desktop client update prompt, I can no longer Fetch Origin #4817

you can use it

git config http.sslVerify false

use it in your repository or use this command if you dont have a git repo

git config --global http.sslVerify false

Answer 4

Go to %ProgramData%/Git open config file with a text editor and substitute

sslCAInfo = ... some stuff with

sslCAInfo = C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt

This has been already discussed in this issue on Github https://github.com/desktop/desktop/issues/4817 and it will be fixed asap.

Answer 5

CF How do I set GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY for specific repos only?

I fixed this by running
git config http.sslVerify false but not sure how secure my GIT comms is now :(

Answer 6

I fixed it by just removing "C:\ProgramData\Git\config"
