I got error message like following when I try create .gitignore file for node.

[ian-kim]

An unexpected error occurred.
{ Error: unable to get local issuer certificate
at TLSSocket. (_tls_wrap.js:1116:38)
at emitNone (events.js:106:13)
at TLSSocket.emit (events.js:208:7)
at TLSSocket._finishInit (_tls_wrap.js:643:8)
at TLSWrap.ssl.onhandshakedone (_tls_wrap.js:473:38) code: 'UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY' }

If there is any workaround, please let me know. could you explain of process and when use certi?

thanks in advance.

What exact command are you running?

I get the same thing. I have tried running it as:

gitignore -types
npx gitignore -types

Fetching available types...
An unexpected error occurred.
Error: unable to get local issuer certificate
at TLSSocket.onConnectSecure (node:_tls_wrap:1535:34)
at TLSSocket.emit (node:events:513:28)
at TLSSocket._finishInit (node:_tls_wrap:949:8)
at TLSWrap.ssl.onhandshakedone (node:_tls_wrap:730:12) {
code: 'UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY'
}

But regardless of the command, I get the same error message. So, if I run gitignore node, I get the same error.
