mkcert-cli

mkcert-cli is a Node.js CLI wrapper around the mkcert tool for generating locally trusted HTTPS development certificates, usable outside Vite contexts. Current stable version is 1.5.0, released Apr 2024. It insources logic from vite-plugin-mkcert, removing external dependencies like axios (since v1.4.0) to keep the package small (~20 kB install size). It supports custom output directories, certificate file names, and multiple hostnames, with auto-upgrade of the mkcert binary via the `-u` flag. Compared to using mkcert directly, it simplifies certificate generation via a single npx command without requiring manual installation of the mkcert binary.
