Answer 1

This helped me:

1 Re-enable

git config --global http.sslVerify true

to get rid of the "TLS certificate verification has been disabled."

2 Create a personal access token on GitHub: https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token

3 When prompted to enter credentials, used my email as user and the personal access token as password

4 To delete a wrong credential follow Where is github authentication token stored on Windows?

Answer 2

You can allow git to talk to Windows's own certificate store, by using the following config:

git config --global http.sslBackend schannel

I don't know if this could help the OP, but I imagine it could help some people that end up on this question.
