fatal: unable to access 'https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx': 
      error setting certificate verify locations:

When using https you will need to supply password or using a certificate. In your case looks like the certificate is not a valid one.

Try fixing it like this by telling git where to find the certificate:

// Add the certificate to your configuration file
git config --system http.sslcainfo "C:Program Files (x86)gitincurl-ca-bundle.crt"

---

Alternatively, you could disable SSL checks:

// or switch off SSL checks completely by executing:
git config --system http.sslverify false

Set this in your config to disable it only for the given url and not for all requests

[http "https://weak.example.com"]
    sslVerify = false

---

http.sslVerify

Whether to verify the SSL certificate when fetching or pushing over HTTPS.

http.sslCAInfo

File containing the certificates to verify the peer with when fetching or pushing over HTTPS
