Switch to "Native Windows Secure Channel library" from "OpenSSL library" on Windows Git, without reinstalling?

Question

During the installation of Git on my Windows machine, I selected "Use the OpenSSL library" for HTTPS Transport backend.

I would like to switch to "Native Windows Secure Channel library" for HTTPS Transport.

Is this possible without re-installing git on Windows?

Answer 1

I found the setting for "schannel" or "openssl" with Git for Windows 2.14.2, 64 bit in file:

C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\etc\gitconfig

Example config for OpenSSL:

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

Example config for Windows native:

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