Upgrade breaks existing repo settings.

See original GitHub issue

Description

I just upgraded to 1.3.4 and it appears to have moved the resources folder which contained the ca-bundle.crt but not updated my local repo settings to reflect this move. So now I get an error when trying to Pull: “fatal: unable to access ‘https://github.com/billw2012/\<my repo>/’: schannel: failed to open CA file ‘C:/Users/<my windows username>/AppData/Local/GitHubDesktop/app-1.3.2/resources/app/git/mingw64/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt’: No such process” I already fixed this once by manually moving this file, but this seems like a bug in the upgrade process and I couldn’t find an existing open one. #5110 looks the same and says to fill out a report if it still happens, so here it is.

Version

  • GitHub Desktop: 1.3.4 just upgraded from 1.3.3
  • Operating system: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.16299.611]

file:“C:\ProgramData/Git/config” http.sslcainfo=C:/Users/<username>/AppData/Local/GitHubDesktop/app-1.3.2/resources/app/git/mingw64/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt

@billw2012 this value is unnecessary, and can be removed from C:\\ProgramData/Git/config

[http] sslCAInfo =C:/Users/<username>/AppData/Local/GitHubDesktop/app-1.3.2/resources/app/git/mingw64/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt

Is it possible to keep the existing gitconfig file, or import self signed certificates into GitHub Desktop?

@DJPEREZ you shouldn’t be changing the system config under C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\GitHubDesktop\ as that will change between versions. Instead you should make changes to your global ~/.gitconfig as those will not only override the Desktop defaults in the system config, but will persist between updates.
