Question

The 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.

occurred when I use SourceTree and clone from a general github repository. I've tried to fix it for some days but have not resolved it yet. Can someone suggest a relevant solution to fix the error:1407742e:ssl routines:ssl23_get_server_hello:tlsv1 alert protocol version issue? Much appreciate your support.

The cause: This error occurs because the git version 1.9.5 which you are using is old. The solution: In SourceTree, go to Tools > Options > Git, and if you're using Use Embedded Git, you'll notice that the git version is outdated; the most recent version of git is 2.16.2. So click Use System Git, and if you installed a newer version of git, it will show newer version following Use System Git, and then try to clone again; it should work perfectly.

The problem was the same for me, and I found a solution:

1.updategit to the most recent version

2.in Command Line Check your tls Version with the command: git-config http.sslVersion

3. If the version is tlsv1.0, you will need to upgrade it with command to tlsv1.2

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

The error will be gone.
