Arch linux ca-certificates.crt not found

I am posting an answer to my own question because I solved the problem and I did not find a valid solution elsewhere. There is no /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificate-crt file. So a link needs to be provided to the proper cert.

$ ln -s /etc/ca-certificates/extracted/ca-bundle.trust.crt /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

Now I can curl and git clone through https.
