Same server/client certificates to clone/push/pull from command line with https?

Hello,
We have setup the gitlab server in AWS to use HTTPS with server and client certificates. The server certificate is signed by lets encrypt while client certificates are self-signed. Everything works as expected with the Web interface however, when we try to clone a project from terminal using https

git clone https://{url-of-gitlab}/{username}/{project-name}.git

it fails with error:

Cloning into ‘{project-name}’…
fatal: unable to access ‘https://{url-of-gitlab}/{username}/{project-name}.git/’: SSL: certificate verification failed (result: 5)

Is there a way to use the same server/client certificates to clone/push/pull from command line with https? I would rather not set up ssh keys. Thank you.
