### 問題

* CA error

    > git clone https://speech.nchc.org.tw/GrandChallenge/MATBN.git/   時出現CA error
    >
    > fatal: unable to access 'https://speech.nchc.org.tw/GrandChallenge/MATBN.git/': server certificate verification failed. CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CRLfile: none

    workaround
    
    > disable the ca-certificates verification by export GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1
