A bash script that generates trusted self-signed SSL certificates for local HTTPS development on macOS. It creates a local certificate authority, signs certificates for your dev domains, and adds the root cert to the macOS Keychain so browsers trust it.

Use cases

• generate self-signed ssl certs for local development
• make local https sites trusted by browser on mac
• avoid 'your connection is not private' errors in local dev
• create a local certificate authority for dev domains
• generate ssl certificate with multiple san domains for localhost

When to choose

• you develop HTTPS sites locally on macOS and want browser-trusted certs
• you want a one-command script wrapping openssl cert generation and Keychain trust

When to avoid

• you need certificates on Linux or Windows
• you need production-grade certificates from a real CA like Let's Encrypt
• you need an actively maintained tool - the last release was 2021
