How to Fix SSL certificate error when want to push to GitHub using git bash?

Question

I am trying to push to GitHub a simple web application using git bash on Windows 8. But when i do git push origin master it says "fatal: unable to access 'https://********.com/****/******.git/': SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate".

Could someone help me with this issue, without disabling the SSL.

the ssl certificate is in the Git directory.

You can fix the error by giving your SSL certificate. You can do this by either:

Editing your Git config file (in Linux ~/.gitconfig) and add:
```
[http]
    sslCAinfo = <path to your key>
```

Executing the following command:

git config --global http.sslCAinfo <path to your key>

raviolicode, did you mean for example my certificate is in Program Files. Then I will have to type sslCAinfo = C:/ProgramFiles/certificate.crt . And then git config --global http.sslCAinfo C:/Program Files/certificate.crt . Is that correct???

@Octtavius only one of the above is needed. For example: git config --global http.sslCAinfo <path to your key> will add the configuration to your ~/.gitconfig, so there's no need to add that line to the gitconfig file.
