Can't push git, visual studio. Git failed with a fatal error. fatal: HttpRequestException encountered

Question

Here is my error on visual studio. I can\'t figure out if there is a config to fix this. Additionally I am restricted from installing git command line tools.

Answer 1

This is because Github disabled TLS v1.0 and v1.1,you can read the notice on Github Engineering, here is the link Weak cryptographic standards removal notice.

From the linked page:

Last year we announced the deprecation of several weak cryptographic standards. Then we provided a status update toward the end of last year outlining some changes we’d made to make the transition easier for clients. We quickly approached the February 1, 2018 cutoff date we mentioned in previous posts and, as a result, pushed back our schedule by one week.

Visual Studio ships with specific versions of Git for Windows and the Git Credential Manager for Windows (GCM). Microsoft has updated the latest versions of Visual Studio 2017 to work with TLSv1.2 Git servers. We advise users of Visual Studio to upgrade to the latest release by clicking on the in-product notification flag or by checking for an update directly from the IDE. Microsoft has provided additional guidance on the Visual Studio developer community support forum.

Answer 2

Check if you have proper configuration. It might be possible if all are okay, there is a wrong email. Inside Team explorer check Global Settings for email.
