I am trying to clone remote git repository with Egit, via https protocol. I followed this online tutorial.
When I insert URI: https://username@host:port/repositorypath, password and click NEXT, I am getting this error message:
Cannot list the available branches.
Reason:
Exception caught during execution of ls-remote command.
How can I clone this repo?
It sounds like Egit is looking for an ssl certificate and refusing to function without it. A good fix to make the problem go away and stay away:
Window→Preferences→Team→Git→Configuration→New Entry→http.sslverify=false.
That should take care of it.
