On git for Windows you can also reinstall and select the Windows native certificate validation method  OpenSSL is default   This will skip the OpenSSL verification and instead use the Windows native one  which doesn t require maintaining a separate tool  OpenSSL  and certificates   Worked perfectly for me

If you are using the Git command shell that installs with the GitHub for Windows app then this and various other problems can show after an update   Just start the Git Hub windows app and shut it down again   The shell will then work OK again   The problem is that the update does not complete until the windows application is run   Just using the shell on its does not trigger the update to complete

On Windows using msysgit I had this error and the cause was my additions of our corporate proxy certificates   If you edit your curl-ca-bundle crt you have to get sure about your lineendings  In case of the curl-ca-bundle you have to use Linux-Style lineendings    gt  git ls-remote --tags --heads https   github com oblador angular-scroll git fatal  unable to access  https   github com oblador angular-scroll git    error setting certificate verify locations    CAfile  C  Program Files  x86  Git bin curl-ca-bundle crt   CApath  none   You can use notepad   to convert the lineendings to Linux  linefeed

I found a good solution for adding updating the CA certificates on RHEL CentOS 6 which is the root cause reported issue    Since they become outdated distros  the cacert authorities in that system has not been updated until executing the command sudo yum update    Didn t realize the issue until the GIT CURL VERBOSE mode shows the cacert path issue

SOLVED  I got this error when I installed an update to the Git windows installer  What happened is that I did not install it with administrator rights  so Git was installed in  C  Users my name AppData Local Programs  instead of  C  program Files   re-installing Git as administrator allowed to put it in C  program Files and everything went fine again

On a side note  this issue can happen in Windows if the user who is trying to use git is different than the user who installed it  The error may indicate that git cannot access the certificate files  Installing git as the administrator and using  rogertoday s answer resolved my issue

For me what solved the problem was when on my windows 10 box  I tried uninstalling git and resintalling  using Windows Cmd as default not Git Bash   Open CMD and run the following      Once installed try to resintall the bin folder  git config --system http sslcainfo  bin curl-ca-bundle crt    disable ssl verification git config --global http sslverify  false     Then try to clone repo again git clone git github com account someproject git

I have seen this on Windows  with msysgit 1 7 2 3  You have to fix the path to bin curl-ca-bundle crt  I had to specify the absolute path  using back-slashes  git config --system http sslcainfo  C  Program Files  x86  git bin curl-ca-bundle crt  This will result in changes to  git-install-dir  etc gitconfig file  which may be edited directly  too   Original solutions found at http   github com blog 642-smart-http-support
