We are getting the following error: 

fatal: unable to access 'https://.....git/': SSL certificate problem: self-signed certificate in certificate chain
We are working inside a VM.
How can I get a certificate to resolve this problem?
thanks

Hi Michael and welcome to the community!

Does this occur with a Bitbucket Cloud repo (does the URL of the repo start with https://bitbucket.org/)?

If so, is this VM behind a firewall? It is possible that the firewall intercepts the traffic, replaces the certificate, and then adds its self-signed certificate.

If that is the case, you will need to configure Git to trust this self-signed certificate.

  1. Save the self-signed certificate on this machine
  2. Then execute the command
    git config --global http.sslCAInfo /path/to/your/certificate/cert.pem

where
/path/to/your/certificate replace with the path of the certificate on your machine
cert.pem replace with the name of the certificate file

Kind regards,
Theodora
