Let Ubuntu on Windows trust self-signed root CA for Git

Source

Concepts

Go to /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/
Create a new folder, i.e. sudo mkdir git
Copy the .crt file of the Root CA SSL certificate (retrieve separately) into that git folder
Make sure the permissions are OK (755 for the folder, 644 for the file)
Run "sudo update-ca-certificates" to update /etc/ssl/certs and ca-certificates.crt
Setup Git config

Steps

Install Windows Ubuntu subsystem
Open and setup a root password
On Windows Explorer, create a folder under user directory, e.g. C:\Users\<your_domain_id>\dev
On Ubuntu, go to mount /mnt/c/Users/<your_domain_id>/dev by command

cd /mnt/c/Users/<your_domain_id>/dev

Run this:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ca-certificates
sudo mkdir /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/git
cp /mnt/c/Users/<your_domain_id>/dev/YOUR-ROOT-CA.crt /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/git
sudo update-ca-certificates
git config --global http.sslCAinfo /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

Git clone repository to local

git clone https://<your_git_server>/scm/<your_domain_id>/YOUR-REPO.git

(Optional) You can cache your password to memory on Ubuntu by setting

git config --global credential.helper 'cache --timeout=3600'
