How to get wget to trust my self signed certificate without using --no-check-certificate?

Question

I was searching around for answers and it seems that I have to add certification to /etc/ssl/certs.

Here's the error

ERROR: cannot verify company-jira.com's certificate, issued by â€˜/C=US/O=Company_Name/CN=Intel Intranet Basic Issuing CA 2Bâ€™:
 Self-signed certificate encountered.
To connect to company-jira.com insecurely, use `--no-check-certificate'.

How do I add a certification to /etc/ssl/cert?

Based on wget man page, this looks like to affect the server certificate. You need to specify your self-signed certificate as a valid CA certificate locally.

To do this, specify the certificate as --ca-certificate=... in wget.
