Unable to resolve “unable to get local issuer certificate” using git on Windows with self-signed certificate

by

The problem is that git by default using the “Linux” crypto backend.

Beginning with Git for Windows 2.14, you can now configure Git to use SChannel, the built-in Windows networking layer as the crypto backend. This means that it will use the Windows certificate storage mechanism and you do not need to explicitly configure the curl CA storage mechanism: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa380123(v=vs.85).aspx

Just execute:

git config --global http.sslbackend schannel

That should help.

Using schannel is by now the standard setting when installing git for Windows, also it is recommended to not checkout repositories by SSH anmore if possible, as https is easier to configure and less likely to be blocked by a firewall it means less chance of failure.
