<urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] ...> #83

I don't know how often people stumble on the error below, It happens after entering the start project command found in the instructions page:

$ django-admin.py startproject --template=https://github.com/arocks/edge/archive/master.zip --extension=py,md,html,env my_proj

CommandError: couldn't download URL https://github.com/arocks/edge/archive/master.zip to master.zip: <urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:833)>

It took me a whole night trying workarounds without any success until today I tried something different: I manually downloaded the master.zip file and pointed it to the command:

$ django-admin.py startproject --template=~/Desktop/edge-master.zip --extension=py,md,html,env my_proj

Hope it saves some beginners' time.

Oh, I've stumbled too

An SSL error occurs for some users especially on macOS. So explicit zip file download step is mentioned in the README.
