Why are you running tests? I don’t the regular (new) users of Julia need to runs these test (they being there for core Julia developers or CI, at least need to be run correctly). Maybe I’m wrong about below, so I edited the post.

It seems you are building Julia and doing something wrong (I’m unclear if “localhost” should be used or why it appears there, and thus "the ssl certificate is invalid”), and the error not really about libgit.

It’s of course possible to build Julia, but since you’re new, do you think you have to? At least you can just use Julia precompiled binaries. You don’t need to build Julia, I’ve done it, but not recently, since there’s no good reason for me, mostly for core developers (and CI).

If it’s relevant the file is much smaller on master (not sure why the code was changed, maybe just reorganized): julia/libgit2.jl at master · JuliaLang/julia · GitHub
