SSL certificate issue while creating git clone with TortoiseGit

Question

I want to clone the git repository with the help of TortoiseGit, but I am getting error :

error: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details: error:1

Answer 1

The correct solution is simple; Tell git to use the Windows certificate store. This is supported by git version >=2.14 (not sure what Tortoise version that relates to)

Sadly I don't see a way to configure this in Tortoise GUI settings.

Procedure:
1:
Find the folder where git (for Tortoise git is installed) TortoiseGit -> Settings -> General Git.exe path = (e.g.) C:\Program Files\git\bin

2:
In explorer browse this folder in Explorer Shift right click "Command Prompt here"

3:
Enter the following git configuration command

git config --global http.sslBackend schannel

Install your self signed certificate chains in the Windows Certificate Store as normal.
