Issue
When attempting to close a project using the Public Edition, users may encounter the following error message and the publish cannot be published to Exploratory Server:
SSL certificate problem: Unable to get local issuer certificate
Cause
This error is likely attributed to the self-signed certificate not being able to undergo proper verification.
Solution
To address this SSL certificate validation issue, consider the following steps:
Open Git Bash and execute the subsequent command to instruct Git to skip the certificate validation through the global option:
git config --global http.sslVerify false
