fatal: unable to access curl-ca-bundle.crt

See original GitHub issue

Description

GitHub Desktop updated itself today to 1.2.2. Since then any time I try to push, to any repo, I get a fatal warning error dialog appear saying: “fatal: unable to access (github repo url): schannel: failed to open CA file (AppData path to 1.2.2/resources/app/git/mingw64/bin/curl-ca-bundle.crt`: No such file or directory.”

I checked and the file doesn’t exist in that folder, or in any previous version folder (i.e. 1.2.1, 1.2.0).

Version

GitHub Desktop: 1.2.2
Operating system: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17134.48]

Steps to Reproduce

Push to any GitHub hosted repo, public or private.

Expected Behavior

It should push without erroring.

Actual Behavior

fatal error dialog appears.

Additional Information

No updates to Windows have taken place. Was working fine earlier today before it updated to 1.2.2.

@photonstorm @wieslawsoltes can you open a shell, run this command and attach the output?

$ git config -l --show-origin

I believe your issues is the same as https://github.com/desktop/desktop/issues/4832, because of an entry that looks like this:

file:"C:\ProgramData/Git/config" http.sslcainfo=/bin/curl-ca-bundle.crt

This entry is no longer valid (Git installations should not be adding this entry to this file) and removing it should address the issue for Desktop.
