Please consider this:
1. Configure Git to Trust Your Proxy’s CA
- Export your proxy’s root CA certificate (usually a .crt or .pem file).
- Add it to Git’s trusted certificate store:
git config --global http.sslCAInfo /path/to/your/proxy-ca.crt
2. Switch Git to Use Windows Certificate Store (if on Windows)
- Run:
git config --global http.sslBackend schannel
3. Use Secure Channel in Visual Studio
- In Visual Studio:
Tools > Options > Source Control > Git Global Settings
Set Cryptographic Provider to Secure Channel.
4. Avoid Disabling SSL Verification
- You can run:
git config --global http.sslVerify false
