...\AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree\git_local\share doesn't exist

Question

I use SourceTree to interact with GitHub repos.  I interacted (pushed) to a repo as recently 10/22/2016.  As of today, I can't do anything with SourceTree.  If I try to clone a repo, for example, I get a message shown below.  However, I notice that the directory "C:\Users\emorway\AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree\git_local\share\" doesn't even exist?  Liberal usage of google has led me to all sort of permutations of the "SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate" message, but I can't figure out how to resolve this.

Can someone please help me figure out how to set up the templates I need to resume interacting with Git repos?

I'm using windows 8 with the latest version of sourceTree (I uninstalled, restarted my machine, and reinstalled in hopes the certificates would populate themselves).

The templates issue is unrelated. You can find a fix for it here: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/250260

Maybe that will resolve the SSL issue, too. If not, did you find this answer on stackoverflow? It specifically relates to the SSL error you mention occuring in SourceTree: http://stackoverflow.com/a/38460722/1476926

Another individual using sourceTree in my office has also starting getting this error related to SSL certificates.  Are there windows updates that can cause this issue?github.PNG
