FiloSottile/mkcert

mkcert is a command-line utility designed to simplify the creation of locally-trusted development certificates. It automatically generates and installs a local Certificate Authority into system and browser trust stores across macOS, Linux, and Windows. The tool supports advanced features such as generating client certificates, ECDSA keys, and PKCS#12 bundles, while managing its own Go module dependencies.

About this page

  • The description of this project is derived from its own commit history, not from its README.
  • The score is its highest published measurement, taken on 1 August 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
  • Measured at commit 1c1dc4ed27 — the exact code this score is about.
  • Scored under rubric rubric-2026.08.18. Score the same commit under that rubric and you get the same number.
