https-localhost is a lightweight utility designed to quickly establish an HTTPS server on localhost, featuring HTTP/2 and SSL via locally-trusted development certificates. It simplifies local development by eliminating the need for manual certificate generation and trust setup, supporting MacOS, Linux, and Windows, and working seamlessly with Chrome and Firefox. The current stable version is 4.7.1, with minor updates released periodically. It functions both as a standalone command-line tool for serving static files and as an importable module for Express.js applications or other web frameworks, offering unique ease-of-use for secure local development environments. Its key differentiator is the zero-configuration approach to trusted local SSL, integrating with `mkcert` under the hood. The project is currently seeking maintainers and contributors.
