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

Configure git to use the right root certificate. Get the root CA certificate of the server and add it to the git config. Run this in command prompt (don't forget to cd into your git repo)

git config http.sslCAinfo ~/certs/cacert.pem

You can choose to ignore the server certificate (at your own risk!).

git config http.sslVerify false
