Can I use client certificates in Git for my project?

How do I source a MATLAB project in GitLab using "Certificate AAA.crt", "Private Key AAA.key", and "Manual Passphrase Input" issued by GitLab?

Currently, if you set it like this, you will get an error.

Config command

git = settings().matlab.sourcecontrol.git;

git. PrivateKeyFile.PersonalValue = "Full path to AAA.key";

git. PublicKeyFile.PersonalValue = "Full path to AAA.crt";

git. KeyHasPassphrase.PersonalValue = true;

Error

"could not initialize security context:(-1x2)"

Currently, MATLAB does not support the use of client certificates. MATLAB uses a library called libgit2, but it does not currently support client certificates.

(See the following links for more information: https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/issues/4204 ）。

Only workaround is to use a Git client that supports client certificates to perform clone/fetch/push operations.
