HTTPS for localhost

A set of scripts to quickly generate a HTTPS certificate for your local development environment.

How-to

1. Clone this repository and cd into it:

git clone https://github.com/dakshshah96/local-cert-generator.git
cd local-cert-generator

2. Run the script to create a root certificate:

sh createRootCA.sh

3. Add the root certificate we just generated to your list of trusted certificates. This step depends on the operating system you're running:
   • macOS: Open Keychain Access and import the root certificate to your System keychain. Then mark the certificate as trusted.
   
   • Linux: Depending on your Linux distribution, you can use trust, update-ca-certificates or another command to mark the generated root certificate as trusted.

Note: You may need to restart your browser to load the newly trusted root certificate correctly.

4. Run the script to create a domain certificate for localhost:

sh createSelfSigned.sh
