I know you say visual-studio and tfs, but now with Mac's version of visualstudio, are you on a PC or a Mac? - Indy-Jones

I fixed it with resetting the proxy;

Running these commands in cmd;

git config --global --unset https.proxy
git config --global --unset http.proxy

It sounds like an issue in your network setting then (maybe a proxy or a firewall blocking access to the remote repository), as indicated by this line:

OpenSSL SSL_connect: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL in connection to :

Double check if your machine is in a network with proxy/firewalls. Turn it off and try again. If you have an additional standalone pc with a direct internet connection also give a try on this machine directly.

Thanks, managed to resolve it by running the following from cmd

git config --global http.proxy myproxy.com:8080

Edit, broken after a reboot

In my case it's a proxy issue, my company's firewall is blocking access and I don't have rights to change it. So, I switched to our company's mobile version of wifi network and managed to clone locally!
