I've not used any of the git credentials before, but now I'm looking
to use an https repo address and have tripped over the cliff of
knowledge into the swamp below with regard to setting up a credential
store....
I'm still on XP.
I have git version 2.3.1 (from the new SDK)
My config has:
credential.helper=!"C:/Program
Files/GitExtensions/GitCredentialWinStore/git-credential-winstore.exe"
(which is installed at that location)
and recently added:
remote.g4w-git.url=https://github.com/git-for-windows/git.git
remote.dscho-git.url=https://github.com/dscho/git.git
(note that both are https, while all my other remotes are mainly
git://, with a few http://)
I have a little script "BringGitUptodate.sh" for collecting all the
disparate development threads of Git (Upstream, Msysgit & G4W-SDK ;-),
so I've now included these remotes but often get this error.
When I fetch the two new remotes I get:
fetch g4w-git & dscho-git =====
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/git-for-windows/git.git/':
error setting certificate verify locations:
CAfile: /mingw/bin/curl-ca-bundle.crt
CApath: none
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/dscho/git.git/': error
setting certificate verify locations:
CAfile: /mingw/bin/curl-ca-bundle.crt
CApath: none
These errors may not be credentail related, rather its the HTTPS
certificate authority that isn't working.
I see two possible relevant, but closed, issues on g4w:
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/72, &
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/165.
Most of the google searching has shown ssh setups, and I've not found
anything that shows the way into the system (aka "Speak, Friend, and
Enter").
What [program/command] should I run first?
What should I expect to enter/enable first?
What pitfalls should I be wary of? (hence this email;-)
Any advice or guidance for this first dumb user [1] step would be
greatly appreciated.

Philip

I've confirmed that the curl-ca-bundle.crt actually has content, and
tried:
Philip@PHILIPOAKLEY /mingw/bin (master)
$ curl -V

$ pwd -W
C:/msysgit195/mingw/bin
Philip@PHILIPOAKLEY /mingw/bin (master)
$ curl https://github.com/dscho/git.git/
<html>
<head><title>301 Moved Permanently</title></head>
<body bgcolor="white">

Philip@PHILIPOAKLEY /mingw/bin (master)
$ curl https://github.com/git-for-windows/git.git/
<html>
<head><title>301 Moved Permanently</title></head>
<body bgcolor="white">

the same web addresses do work in Chrome (that is they get to display
the relevant repos), so I'm not sure what to make of the 301 (not my
area of expertise;-).
my config also has:
http.sslcainfo=/mingw/bin/curl-ca-bundle.crt
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3778042/github-error-cloning-my-private-repository
(2010) suggests that the windows style path should be used, but that
could be rather old advice. I've checked that the curl-ca-bundle.crt is
*nix LF endings.
Thoughts?
