SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate in git

Question

I have a problem when pushing git. this error message shows up: ``` SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate ```

Accepted Answer

There are several ways this issue has been resolved previously:

A. Ensure the root cert is added to `git.exe`'s certificate store as discussed here.

B. Tell Git where to find the CA bundle by running:

```
git config --system http.sslCAPath /absolute/path/to/git/certificates
```

or copying the CA bundle to the `/bin` directory and adding the following to the `gitconfig` file:

```
sslCAinfo = /bin/curl-ca-bundle.crt
```

C. Reinstalling Git.

D. Ensuring that the complete CA is present, including the root cert.
