I've posted this on Stack Overflow https://stackoverflow.com/q/59381061/827263 but I haven't gotten any responses yet. When I install "Git for Windows" on Windows 10, the installation wizard offers the choice of using either the OpenSSL library or the "native Windows Secure Channel library". (Whether that's offered seems to depend on what's available on the Windows 10 system.) I believe this is referred to in the git sources as "schannel". Is there a way to configure git under Cygwin to use the native Windows Secure Channel library? An ideal solution would be a modification to my .gitconfig, but something that lets me build git (and possibly curl) from source would also be good. See my Stack Overflow question for more details, including some things that I tried that didn't work. The problem I'm trying to solve: In my work environment, I can use Cygwin git for local operations, but I have to use Windows git for anything that talks to a remote (push, pull).I'd prefer to use Cygwin git exclusively.
