There should absolutely be no need to disable SSL verification for [github.com](http://github.com). Something else if probably wrong with your networking setup. (It could also be a transient issue on github’s side, in which case it might help to retry a couple of hours later.)

I’d start debugging by seeing if you can clone/download the repository outside of Julia, and continue from there.
