`gh auth login` has `tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority`

[robertkirkman]

This issue is to track the termux-docker variant of tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority.

Every type of termux-docker has this issue, and my recent heavy changes did not introduce it. Unfortunately, I didn't fix it because I don't know how to.

Sometimes, GNU/Linux or normal Android can have tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority also, but when they do, it's thought to be due to a different root cause, because generic solutions for this error from GNU/Linux and normal Android don't seem to help.

Some known affected programs:

GitHub CLI
Git LFS

Most programs are not known to be affected.
