Did you try setting your system sslCAInfo using backslashes like this:

git config --system http.sslcainfo "C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\ssl\certs\ca-bundle.crt"

Seems like an SSL Verification issue. If you are using mysisGit, this link shows how to disable it.

EDIT

I'm glad you found a solution. In case others have the same issue, here are some other things to try.

If you are trying to a server without proper certificates, you can set GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true each time you run a command:

GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true git clone https://url

Or you could disable ssl verification. For a single repo, make sure your are in the repo you want and run:

git config http.sslVerify "false".

Or you can disable it for all repos using:

git config --global http.sslverify "false"

Which is what worked for me. Alternatively, you can see if changing the CAPATH fixes it. For windows, the sslcainfo could be using the wrong slashes (like in @c-rish's answer):

git config --system http.sslcainfo "C:\<path>\<to>\<your>\.crt file"
