I'm stuck behind a firewall, so I have to use HTTPS to access my GitHub repository. I'm using Cygwin 1.7.7 on Windows XP.
I've tried setting the remote to https://username@github.com/username/ExcelANT.git, but pushing prompts for a password, but it doesn't do anything once I've entered it.
https://username:<password>github.com/username/ExcelANT.git and cloning the empty repository from scratch, but each time it gives me the same error:
error: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed while accessing https://github.com/username/ExcelANT.git/info/refs
Turning on GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 gives me
