Visual Studio GIT broken

Question

I have recently run into a serious little issue on my Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition.

I cannot fetch, pull or push my repo, it had an issue with my CA-bundle.crt. I tried a few things on GIT, tried pointing it to the correct certificate but to no avail.
Uninstalled my entire Visual Studio, renamed my project and tried to clone a fresh repo. This was met with more failure.

Git failed with a fatal error.
unable to access "https://github.com//.git/": error setting certificate verify locations: CAfile: C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt CAPpath: none

I looked at the location and no file was located there, I found another ca-bundle.crt under C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TeamFoundation\Team Explorer\Git\mingw32\ssl\certs which I then copied to the location. This did not resolve the issue either.

Any idea how to fix this? Or any other possible solution?

Answer 1

Hi HeinrichLudike,

It seems that there is something wrong about the configuration of your github tool. You can go to Extension/Manage Extensions to re-install github extension.

There seems to be an issue with VMWare Horizon Agent breaking the git named pipe support.
