mkcert:tldr:abd0c
The command you provided seems to be an attempt to generate SSL/TLS certificates using mkcert. However, it contains some syntax errors and improperly formatted arguments.
Assuming you intended to generate certificates for a local development environment, the correct command would be:
mkcert example-org myapp-dev 127.0.0.1
Let's break down the command:
-
mkcert
: This is the command itself, which is a tool for generating locally-trusted development certificates. -
example-org
: This argument represents the common name (CN) of the certificate, generally used to identify the organization or domain name. -
myapp-dev
: This argument represents the domain or subdomain name of the application you want to generate the certificate for. -
127.0.0.1
: This is the IP address (loopback address) corresponding to localhost, typically used for local development and testing.
By running this command, mkcert will generate SSL/TLS certificates, signed by a local Certificate Authority (CA), allowing you to secure your local development environment for testing purposes.
