How do I set GIT SSL NO VERIFY for specific repos only

Question

I have to use a git server without proper certificates  but I don t want to have to do  env GIT SSL NO VERIFY true git command   every single time I do a git operation  But I would also like to leave SSL enabled for other git repositories  Is there a way to make this local to a single repo

This question keeps coming up and I did not find a satisfying result yet, so here is what worked for me (based on a previous answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/52706362/1806760, which is not working):

My server is https://gitlab.dev with a self-signed certificate.

First run git config --system --edit (from an elevated command prompt, change --system to --global if you want to do it for just your user), then insert the following snippet after any previous [http] sections:

[http "https://gitlab.dev"]
        sslVerify = false

Then check if you did everything correctly:

> git config --type=bool --get-urlmatch http.sslVerify https://gitlab.dev
false

There is an easy way of configuring GIT to handle your server the right way  Just add an specific http section for your git server and specify which certificate  Base64 encoded  to trust      gitconfig   http  https   repo your-server com     windows path use double back slashes    sslCaInfo   C   Users   lt user gt   repo your-server com cer   unix path to certificate  Base64 encoded  sslCaInfo    home  lt user gt  repo your-server com cer   This way you will have no more SSL errors and validate the  usually  self-signed certificate  This is the best way to go  as it protects you from man-in-the-middle attacks  When you just disable ssl verification you are vulnerable to these kind of attacks   https   git-scm com docs git-config git-config-httplturlgt

On Linux  if you call this inside the git repository folder   git config http sslVerify false   this will add sslVerify   false in the  http  section of the config file in the  git folder  which can also be the solution  if you want to add this manually with nano  git config        http    sslVerify   false

If you have to disable SSL checks for one git server hosting several repositories   you can run   git config --bool --add http https   my bad server sslverify false  This will add it to your user s configuration  Command to check  git config --bool --get-urlmatch http sslverify https   my bad server    If you still use git  lt  v1 8 5  run git config --global http https   my bad server sslVerify false  Explanation from the documentation where the command is at the end  show the  gitconfig content looking like   http  quot https   my bad server quot           sslVerify   false  It will ignore any certificate checks for this server  whatever the repository  You also have some explanation in the code
