R studio project from Git repository, self signed certificate issue

When I try to create a new project in R studio by cloning a repository as follows:

File >> New Project >> Version Control >> Git >> ..enter Repository URL

I get the following error message

Cloning into 'simple-repository'... fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/kedemd/simple-repository/': SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate in certificate chain

Any idea why I get this/ how to fix it?

I am using R 4.2, RStudio 1.1, and Windows

You have to configure git to trust your corporate self-signed certificate.

The way to do it is explained in this answer. In substance:

1) Get the certificate:

openssl s_client -connect repos.sample.com:443

Catch the output into a file cert.pem and delete all but part between (and including) -BEGIN CERTIFICATE- and -END CERTIFICATE-

2) Configure git to trust this certificate

git config --global http.sslCAInfo /path/to/cert.pem
