+### How to collect data from Gitlab server with Self-Signed Certificate
+There are two symptoms would exhibit when trying to collect data from a private Gitlab server with a Self-Signed certificate:
+
+1. "Test Connection" report error, this can be solved by setting the environment variable `IN_SECURE_SKIP_VERIFY=true` for the `devlake` container
+2. "GitExtractor" fails to clone the repository due to certificate verification, sadly, both `gogit` and `git2go` that we are using don't seem to support insecure HTTPS at all.

Review Comment:
