Git: Cloning Repository without Valid Certification

When the repository is in GitLab with self-signed certificate, when the certificate is expired, git clone shows the following message.

fatal: unable to access 'https://example.com/sample/repository.git/': server certificate verification failed. CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CRLfile: none

1	fatal: unable to access 'https://example.com/sample/repository.git/': server certificate verification failed. CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CRLfile: none

In such case, adding new valid ssl certificate solves the problem, but the following method enable us to clone repository easily.

export GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1

1	export GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1

There are another way.

git config --global http.sslVerify false

1	git config --global http.sslVerify false

After cloning the repository, when you get error because of ssl certificate expiration, you can disable ssl verification for the specific one repository.

git config http.sslVerify false
