Unable to pull/push in git repository

Question

$ git pull origin master
fatal: unable to access \'https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\': 
      error setting certificate verify locations:
CAfile: C:/Users/abc/AppData/Local/P         


        

Answer 1

I got the same problem after my latest update of cygwin after installing Windows 10. The command update-ca-trust failed during installation.

The reason seem to be that the group owner for the certificate folder was corrupt. The somewhat drastic solution was to delete /etc/group, it turned out that cygwin is able to ask windows directly about group rights.
