SourceTree error:1407742E:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert protocol version

I'm using SourceTree and try to clone from a general github repository, but I got this error:

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/mfitzp/15-minute-apps.git/': error:1407742E:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert protocol version Completed with errors, see above.

How to solve it?

Solution 1:

Check Tools > Options > Git in SourceTree, if you're using Use Embedded Git, you can see the git version is 1.9.5 which is old, latest version of git is 2.16.2.

So click Use System Git, if you install the newer version of git, after Use system Git it'll show newer version, then try to clone again it should work fine.

Solution 2:

I had the same problem and my fix was:

1.update git to the latest version

2.in command line check your tls version with command: git config http.sslVersion

3.if the version is tlsv1.0 than you have to update it to tlsv1.2 with command:

git config --global --unset http.sslVersion
git config --global --add http.sslVersion tlsv1.2

and than the error won't be present anymore

Solution 3:

You have to upgrade the git into the last version https://git-scm.com/downloads

Solution 4:

I had the same problem

First, update the git version from https://git-scm.com/downloads

You can install the 32 version and 64 version

Then try to pull the code from the remote repository.

If that doesn't work, run the following command to list all the git configurations

git config --global --list

Remove all the SSL configuration related settings. Remove only SSL configurations, like SSLVersion, etc. You can get the settings name from the above command result. The result format will be ConfigurationName=value. To remove configurations, run the following command.

git config --global --unset ConfigurationName

For example, if you want to remove the user.name configuration

git config --global --unset user.name

After deleting the SSL configurations, try to pull the code from the remote repository. This time the git will use the default SSL configuration values.

Solution 5:

I am using Mountain Lion (10.8.5) so I can't get a Git version higher than 2.3.5. The only thing that worked for me was to add an SSH key to my Github account, as explained here.

And then cloning with SSH. Either use SourceTree or just git clone [email protected]:[username]/[repository].git
