error: https://admin.hlx.page/sidekick/<owner-name>/<project>/main/config.json is using an invalid certificate, please check https://github.com/adobe/helix-cli#troubleshooting for help.
unable to get local issuer certificate. This crops up on executing command - aem up

Ok this approach has worked for me on my local Windows 11 -

I accessed this URL on my Chrome browser - https://admin.hlx.page/sidekick/owner-name/repo-name/github-branch-name/config.json
I extracted the Base64 encoded Certificate Chain (second option on Save As dialog while Exporting certificate) as *.pem from the browser.
I put it in a directory called certs under the cloned boilerplate repository folder.
Then from the cloned repo folder I executed - set NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS=./certs/hlx.page.pem
Then executed - aem up
