On my Windows machine, I use Mobaxterm, which is a great environment based on Cygwin and gives me an UNIX-like alternative to Windows command window.
Git can be set up but needs some configuration first before it’ll work flawlessly.
http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/plugins.html and get plugins for curl, openssl, git
Will likely see this error, when cloning a Git repo, and Git cannot find the CA certificate bundle required for secure access to Git.
git clone https://github.com/jaredevans/progtest
Cloning into 'progtest'... fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/jaredevans/progtest/': SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed
To fix this, download & install the CA certificate bundle, then tell Git where to find it!
In Mobaxterm shell:
mkdir -p /etc/pki/tls/certs curl http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem -o /etc/pki/tls/ca-bundle.crt git config --system http.sslcainfo /etc/pki/tls/ca-bundle.crt git config -l
git clone https://github.com/jaredevans/progtest
Cloning into 'progtest'... remote: Counting objects: 3, done. remote: Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0 Unpacking objects: 100% (3/3), done. Checking connectivity... done.
Note: commands with colorized output like:
git log
will output messed up escape characters (can’t correctly show the colors). To fix this:
git config --global core.pager more
