GIT ERROR: PROBLEM IN THE SSL CERTIFICATE, VERIFY THAT THE CERTIF. CA IS OK

This error means that your CA root certificate is out of date. If your CA root certificate needs to be updated, you will not be able to upload or extract from the GIT repositories.

It means that you can't do either "git pull" or "git push" because you get an error similar to this one:

Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?) while accessing ....

"CA" is short for "certificate authority". Certificate authorities are an independent group responsible for handling secure connections on the web. These authorities establish digital "certificates", which are a way of ensuring that connections between two machines (such as your computer and GitHub.com) are valid. Without a certificate, the security risk between two machines is higher.

When you receive this error, it probably means that your CA is outdated and requires an update. Usually, updating your operating system also updates your CA and resolves the problem.

In short, if you get this error it means that your server has not been updated for some time.

There is a workaround which is to disable SSL verification for the GIT. You can do it this way.

git config --global http.sslVerify false

NOTE: It would be best if the server has SSL up to date.

Not using SSL is less secure, but sometimes you are in a hurry to deploy, and the hosting company does not give you as much support as they should.
