Localhost SSL Certificate on Mac OS

🚨 2020 Update: I recommend using mkcert to generate local certificates. You can do everything below by just running the commands brew install mkcert and mkcert -install. Keep it simple!


This gives you that beautiful green lock in Chrome. I'm assuming you're putting your SSL documents in /etc/ssl, but you can put them anywhere and replace the references in the following commands. Tested successfully on Mac OS Sierra and High Sierra.

Set up localhost.conf

sudo nano /etc/ssl/localhost/localhost.conf

#!/bin/bash
# Logout current GitHub credentials and remove global user.name, user.email
echo -e "host=github.com\nprotocol=https\n" | git credential-osxkeychain erase
git config --unset-all --global user.name
git config --unset-all --global user.email
