if u set false tfor ssl > The connection is not secure. If git isn't verifying the SSL certificates of the remotes, a MITM attack is pretty simple and straightforward. Anyone could tamper with your code and even build exploits into your software without you even noticing; thats about the worst thing that can happen to a software project

Isn’t this bad practice? Security bad practice. Opens up your computer for security risks?

DO NOT DO THIS!!!
This is asking for trouble because the SSL certificates are there to protect you from using data that can be harmful to your device. Mainly that through SSL certificates, your machine can verify that

1: The source wasn't switched meaning that you downloaded from the source you intended.
2: The data wasn't intercepted and altered through malicious middleware.
3: that you successfully downloaded the entire file because the certificate also contains data that your device uses as a "checksum" to ensure that nothing was skipped.

Please, I know its tempting to disable it, but it is there to protect you from harm

fatal: bad boolean config value '“false”~' for 'http.sslverify', I don't understand
