Re iterating general instructions in case the linked post goes down and some minor differences I encountered.
- Navigate to the site you are trying to get things downloaded from.
- Following the steps in the Microsft article: Click the padlock in the browser and download the root cert. This is where I had to do something slightly different. I had chained certs, so I downloaded all of them except the deepest cert.
- Continue to follow the steps in the above article, switching to using a private copy of the git root cert store.
My path differs for git than most because I am using git for windows 2.5.x, located under
c:\program files\Git\mingw64\ssl\certs\ca-bundle.certs - Then point git to use your local file as in the article
git config --global http.sslCAInfo C:/Users/yourname/curl-ca-bundle.crt - copy the downloaded certs into the bundle and restart your terminals or computer.
Something that hung me up for a bit was differnce between admin user and local user, setting a global config in windows will create a user based local copy and not update your cert location correctly when using git config
Super helpful for me diagnosing where my config was looking for search: git config --list --show-origin
