I'm trying to clone a repository onto my laptop and am facing some issues. The specific installation I'm referring to is the Twint library. Allow me to elaborate:
I first type git clone https://github.com/twintproject/twint.git which gives me the following error message:
Cloning into 'twint'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/twintproject/twint.git': error setting
certificate verify locations:
CAfile: C:\Program Files (x86)\git\bin\curl-ca-bundle.crt
CApath: none
I've looked online and found this Git issue which one answer states to run
git config --global http.sslveify "false"
but this also gives me
error: could not lock config file /home/User/.gitconfig: No such file or directory
Does anybody know what I should do to fix the issue? Thank you.
EDIT
In case it helps, the contents of my C:\ProgramData\Git\config file is as follows:
[core]
symlinks = false
autocrlf = true
fscache = true
[color]
diff = auto
status = auto
branch = auto
interactive = true
[help]
format = html
[rebase]
autosquash = true
