I have searched through many answers on how to clone visual studio code to private repository on GitHub, however I keep on receiving the same error. 

error setting certificate verify locations
ca path none

I have tried following solutions to create a certificate and to change network provider to secure channel, but I still receive the same error!

Anyone has a clear guide to clone my code to GitHub PRIVATE repository?

As seen here, you should make sure your existing certificates included with Git For Windows are referenced in your global configuration:

git config --system http.sslcainfo /ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt

That file is in the Git installation path, under:

  • ./mingw64/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
  • ./usr/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt

Then, relaunch Visual Studio, and check if the error message persists.

  • i cant fnd this file anywhere in the program folder. Where can i download it from? – Jane Cohen Dec 11 '19 at 07:30
  • @JaneCohen Actually, I have edited the answer with the right value. To be sure, I have added the path for that file. – VonC Dec 11 '19 at 07:32
  • thank you but i am still experiencing the same error. All i was meant to do was to copy the git config statement on git bash right? – Jane Cohen Dec 11 '19 at 13:38
  • @JaneCohen Yes. Does `ssh -Tv git@github.com` ends with your GitHub user account name displayed? – VonC Dec 11 '19 at 13:46
  • no i get an error ending with "The authenticity of host 'github.com (140.82.118.3)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is..." – Jane Cohen Dec 11 '19 at 19:19
  • You should answer yes, and see if it goes further – VonC Dec 11 '19 at 20:15
  • thanks for your reply. After answering yes, i get the error "Warning: Permanently added 'github.com,140.82.118.4' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.... git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey)." – Jane Cohen Dec 11 '19 at 20:39
  • @JaneCohen Did you register your public key (id_rsa.pub content) to your GitHub account? – VonC Dec 11 '19 at 20:43
