My question is why does git for windows and linux come with root certs and
git for IBM i doesn't.

Guessing you either obtained git from perzl.org or other non-IBM-supplied
means. IBM i/PASE is its own. What I mean: While PASE is essentially AIX,
there are many things that the IBM i team "honed". Nothing wrong with
that, just don't expect things to work just like they do on Linux. For
example, /QOpenSys is the only case sensitive file system on the machine so
you will find many symlinks pointing there (i.e. /usr/lib ->
/QOpenSys/usr/lib).

Note perzl.org will install the majority of things in /opt/freeware and,
depending on the rpm, may also create symlinks in /QOpenSys/usr/bin.

I can help with the git side of things...

What I've done is modified my ~/.gitconfig to have the following:

% cat ~/.gitconfig
[user]
email = aaronbartell@xxxxxxxxx
name = Aaron Bartell
[http]
sslCAPath = /home/aaron/certs
sslCAinfo = /home/aaron/certs/cacert.pem
[color]
diff = false


I did similar with http.sslCAInfo. I can do that globally (git config
--system) for this box because there are 5 devs on it. My question is why
doe git for windows and linux come with root certs and git for IBM i
doesn't.

Or maybe git for windows comes with its own copy of the certs rather than
git maintaining a bunch of windows only source code for reading the windows
certificate store, and git for linux and git for AIX uses a cert file that
comes with the OS, Maybe I need to open a bug with git.
