Sometimes you can’t clone because of self-signed certificate:
Cloning into 'a-project'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://example.local/a-project/': schannel: next InitializeSecurityContext failed: SEC_E_UNTRUSTED_ROOT (0x80090325) - The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted.
No time to download chain certs, just ignore:
git config --global http.sslVerify false
