  # Add a private Git repository via HTTPS using username/password and TLS client certificates:
  argocd admin repo generate-spec https://git.example.com/repos/repo --username git --password secret --tls-client-cert-path ~/mycert.crt --tls-client-cert-key-path ~/mycert.key

  # Add a private Git repository via HTTPS using username/password without verifying the server's TLS certificate
