Github: error cloning my private repository

Question

I have seen this on Windows, with msysgit 1.7.2.3. You have to fix the path to bin/curl-ca-bundle.crt. I had to specify the absolute path, using back-slashes:

git config --system http.sslcainfo "C:\Program Files (x86)\git\bin\curl-ca-bundle.crt"

This will result in changes to [git-install-dir]/etc/gitconfig file, which may be edited directly, too.

(Original solutions found at http://github.com/blog/642-smart-http-support)

I solved the problem installing the Git from: https://git-for-windows.github.io/ Locate the cert file path:

D:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\ssl\certs\ca-bundle.crt

Configure the Git path:

git config --system http.sslcainfo "D:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\ssl\certs\ca-bundle.crt"

Try again

If you use MSYS2...

Just install the certificate packages with the following commands:

32 bits

pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-ca-certificates ca-certificates

64 bits

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-ca-certificates ca-certificates

If you were using Cygwin, you might install the ca-certificates package with apt-cyg:

wget rawgit.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg/master/apt-cyg
install apt-cyg /usr/local/bin
apt-cyg install ca-certificates

How do I install a cygwin package from the command line?

git config --global http.sslverify "false" 

Will solve the problem. After that a Pop-up window appears to enter your username and password

SOLVED: I got this error when I installed an update to the Git windows installer. What happened is that I did not install it with administrator rights, so Git was installed in "C:\Users\my_name\AppData\Local\Programs" instead of "C:\program Files". re-installing Git as administrator allowed to put it in C:\program Files and everything went fine again !

This worked for me (I'm using Manjaro linux). I run the cmd to view ca-certificates:

$ curl-config --ca
**/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt**

But actually i found the certificates at the path:

**/etc/ca-certificates/extracted/ca-bundle.trust.crt**

Then add the config into ~/.gitconfig (if not existing, create it):

**vim ~/.gitconfig**
[http]
    sslVerify = true
    sslCAinfo = /etc/ca-certificates/extracted/ca-bundle.trust.crt

[user]
    email = <email of github account>
    name = <username of github account>

It works!
