If you are running git on windows many things can go wrong, one of the more irritating problem are with certificates.

to use the windows certificate store set the following

git config --system http.sslbackend schannel

From the release notes

It is now possible to switch between Secure Channel and OpenSSL for Git's HTTPS transport by setting the http.sslBackend config variable to "openssl" or "schannel".
