Thanks man. Was trying to figure this out. There it is.
Much appreciated. Corporate Zscaler - Pfft.

Thanks for sharing!

I didn't run this per se, as I don't use Grunt and did not want to disable SSL verification. I made a fork and installed the ZScaler certificates that were on my work PC

use https://ip.zscaler.com/ to determine if you are on a different gateway as well.

This script disables SSL verification globally for git and npm, which can expose you and your company to supply chain attacks and malware in your code. Instead, you or the zscaler admin(s) could change the zscaler config to have SSL inspection bypass entries for the domains needed for the desired npm packages.
