Using Git, is there a way to tell it to accept a self signed certificate?
I am using an https server to host a git server but for now the certificate is self signed.
When I try to create the repo there for the first time:
git push origin master -f
I get the error:
error: Cannot access URL
https://the server/git.aspx/PocketReferences/, return code 22
fatal: git-http-push failed
Try http.sslCAPath
or http.sslCAInfo
. Adam Spiers's answer gives some great examples. This is the most secure solution to the question.
try passing -c
to git
with the proper config variable, or use Flow's answer:
git -c http.sslVerify=false clone https://example.com/path/to/git
If the repository is completely under your control, you can try:
git config --global http.sslVerify false
There are quite a few SSL configuration options in git
. From the man page of git config
:
http.sslVerify
Whether to verify the SSL certificate when fetching or pushing over HTTPS.
Can be overridden by the GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY environment variable.
http.sslCAInfo
File containing the certificates to verify the peer with when fetching or pushing
over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the GIT_SSL_CAINFO environment variable.
http.sslCAPath
Path containing files with the CA certificates to verify the peer with when
fetching or pushing over HTTPS.
Can be overridden by the GIT_SSL_CAPATH environment variable.
A few other useful SSL configuration options:
http.sslCert
File containing the SSL certificate when fetching or pushing over HTTPS.
Can be overridden by the GIT_SSL_CERT environment variable.
http.sslKey
File containing the SSL private key when fetching or pushing over HTTPS.
Can be overridden by the GIT_SSL_KEY environment variable.
http.sslCertPasswordProtected
Enable git's password prompt for the SSL certificate. Otherwise OpenSSL will
prompt the user, possibly many times, if the certificate or private key is encrypted.
Can be overridden by the GIT_SSL_CERT_PASSWORD_PROTECTED environment variable.
