  <p>I am trying to clone a Git repository from Cygwin running on Windows 7. I am entering the command <code>git clone http://github.com/scottgonzalez/node-chat</code> and getting this result:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Cloning into node-chat...
  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/scottgonzalez/node-chat/info/refs
  
  fatal: HTTP request failed
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It seems like I get some sort of error whenever I try to do anything involving an https URL in Cygwin. How can I make the clone work?</p>
