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

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 < 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 "https://my.bad.server"]
        sslVerify = false

It will ignore any certificate checks for this server, whatever the repository.

You also have some explanation in the code

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    gt  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
