mkcert: Generate certificate and private key for a given domain.
$ mkcert ${example-org}
try on your machine

The command "mkcert ${example-org}" is using a tool called "mkcert" to generate a TLS/SSL certificate for a domain or organization.

In this specific command, "${example-org}" is a placeholder for the actual domain or organization name. You should replace "${example-org}" with the desired name before running the command.

When you run this command, the "mkcert" tool will generate a locally-trusted TLS/SSL certificate for the specified domain or organization. This certificate can be used for local development or testing purposes instead of purchasing or using a commercially-trusted certificate.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
