Hi,

is anyone aware of a possibility to inject a private rootCA into plugins/git?

I’m currently evaluating drone with github having a certificate signed by a private CA. Currently the builds fail due to the fact that the rootCA is not available during the clone stage.

You can override the git clone step by defining one manually. You can then configure `skip_verify` to `true`.

Find examples and more information @

I also got the same trouble.  
Then I found this topic.  
But the link you show is already been dead!  
Is [http://plugins.drone.io/drone-plugins/drone-git/](http://plugins.drone.io/drone-plugins/drone-git/) the new URL of the document?  
And, adding this snippet to .drone.yml fixes the problem, right?

```
clone:
  git:
    image: plugins/git
    skip_verify: true
```
