git clone - server certification error

I got an error as follow when I tried to clone a gitlab repository:

 

server certificate verification failed. CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/cacertificates.crt CRLfile: none

 

I've found a solution or workaround for that issue from StackOverflow.

server certificate verification failed. CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CRLfile: none

 

Make a long story short, you can configure the git to ignore the server certification if you are sure to trust the server. The methods are as below:

 

export GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1

 

#or

 

git config --global http.sslverify false
