Proposed fix: [git over HTTPS] 'SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate' behind corporate TLS inspection — point http.sslCAInfo at a bundle with the corporate root, or on Git f
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: On Git for Windows where Windows trusts the root: git config --global http.sslBackend schannel. Elsewhere: add the corporate root to the system CA store or set http.sslCAInfo (GIT_SSL_CAINFO) to a PEM bundle that includes it. Do not set http.sslVerify=false.
Option: Use the Windows certificate store (Git for Windows) [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Windows, root trusted by Windows
Steps:
1. git config --global http.sslBackend schannel
2. Retry the git operation
Expected: Git trusts the same roots as Windows
Option: Point Git at a CA bundle including the corporate root [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Linux, WSL, containers, CI
Steps:
1. Install the root into the OS store (e.g. update-ca-certificates) or build a PEM bundle
2. git config --global http.sslCAInfo /path/bundle.pem (or export GIT_SSL_CAINFO)
Expected: Clone/fetch succeeds
