I am trying to clone a repository at Github, but I am getting SSL Certificate problems.
$ git clone https://github.com/HonzaKral/django-threadedcomments.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/Bryan/work/django-threadedcomments/.git/
error: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:
error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed while accessing https://github.com/HonzaKral/django-threadedcomments.git/info/refs
fatal: HTTP request failed
How do I install the appropriate certificates?
EDIT: I was able to avoid the issue entirely by using git:// versus https://

Import the certificate into the local computer storeOn the File menu, select Add/Remove snap-in. In the Add/Remove Snap-in dialog box, select Add. In the Add Standalone Snap-in dialog box, select Certificates, and then select Add. In the Certificates snap-in dialog box, select Computer account, and then select Next.
If the check is successful, GitHub queues a job to request a TLS certificate from Let's Encrypt. On receiving a valid certificate, GitHub automatically uploads it to the servers that handle TLS termination for Pages.
Open Keychain Access, select all the certificates in "System Roots" (except those crossed out, if any), right click and export all the items into a PEM file.
Then, use git config --system http.sslCAInfo /path/to/this/file.pem. If you don't want to set this globally with --system before cloning that particular repository, you can set this path in the GIT_SSL_CAINFO environment variable (e.g. GIT_SSL_CAINFO=/path/to/this/file.pem git clone ...). This will make Git (and libcurl) use that file as the trusted CA file. (You can check the details for this option in the git-config man-page.)
