unable to access 'https://github.com/corpnewt/GenSMBIOS/': SSL certificate problem: Invalid certificate chain (on Mac OS 10.9.5)

[verh-dar-sari]

Hi,

I'd have prefered to solve the problem by myself+web searches, but I guess I'm not a nerd enough.
On Mac OS 10.9.4 (Mavericks), when

git clone https://github.com/corpnewt/GenSMBIOS

we got

Cloning into 'GenSMBIOS'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/corpnewt/GenSMBIOS/': SSL certificate problem: Invalid certificate chain

So I checked a few solutions (mainly about other github programs than this specific one) :

• manually 'Set to Default' SSL trust settings in Keychain Access for GitHub certificate (also tried "Always Trust", but still keeping the message "This certificate was signed by an unknown authority") ;
• by terminal: trying to delete some specific certificates that could interfere (Terminal refused to delete) ;
• installing via Github Desktop
• ...disable antivir

Similar problems have been raised, but in Windows.

Thanks a lot, in advance, for your answer!

That is not an issue with GenSMBIOS (or any other script on github), but rather an outdated system with outdated TLS/SSL libraries. Can you use the "Download ZIP" button on the repo's 'code' page to download it? It then should download just fine.
