I've been using Git for the past few months. Recently when I try to clone or to push, I keep on getting this error. I've researched on the internet but so far no solution has worked for me. Does anyone have an idea?
External note : Now I moved to different country, it was working perfectly where I was before. Git Version : 2.11.0 , OS : Debian GNU/Linux 9.11 (stretch)
Error :
git push
fatal: unable to access 'https://**************/': gnutls_handshake() failed: Handshake failed
This error means that Git cannot establish a secure connection to the server you're trying to use. Your version of Git uses the GnuTLS library to set up TLS (encrypted) connections, and for some reason that setup process is failing.
This could be for a couple of reasons. One is that your server (which one you haven't mentioned) is using an incompatible set of cipher suites or TLS versions, and there's no encryption algorithms in common that can be chosen. It's also possible that you have someone tampering with the connection via a MITM device.
The version of Git and GnuTLS you're using should work just fine with most standard servers. Re-installing it won't help. You can try upgrading to a newer version of Debian, or you can try building Git yourself against a version of libcurl using OpenSSL. You can also just switch to SSH-based remotes, which will avoid this incompatibility altogether.
