Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
The error you receive may look like the following:
$ git push -u github.master
> fatal: 'github.master' does not appear to be a git repository
> fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
$ git pull -u github

> fatal: HTTP request failedA "CA" is shorthand for a "certificate authority," a third-party group responsible for handling secure connections around the web. They establish digital "certificates," which are a way of ensuring that there are valid connections between two machines (like your computer and GitHub.com). Without a certificate, the security risk between two machines is greater.
When you receive this error, it likely means that your CA is out-of-date and needs to be updated. Generally, updating your operating system also updates your CA, and solves the problem.
