Its first documented release implemented per-directory CA initialization plus server and client certificate issuance; later releases added CSR handling, renewal, Python-version updates, ECDSA key support, and configurable key parameters. ### Adoptionsgeschichte The project serves a narrow systems-integration niche rather than a broad developer-tool audience. Its own documentation names local experiments, development integration, and test or CI/CD deployments as the intended environments, and the Homebrew formula gives macOS users a package-manager install path. ### Wie es verwendet wird Practitioners run gimmecert init inside a project directory, then issue server or client certificates into the .gimmecert tree. The generated PEM files are suited to software that requires TLS or mutual-TLS material during tests without introducing a long-lived certificate authority. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren Gimmecert is notable as a packaged alternative to hand-written OpenSSL or certtool invocations. Its package value is convenience and repeatability: one command creates a disposable hierarchy with predictable paths that can be checked by tests or local services. ### Zeitleiste - 0.1.0: First documented release with per-directory CA setup and server/client certificate issuance. - 0.2.0: Added smaller fixes and test-environment improvements. - 0.4.0: Added ECDSA and configurable private-key generation. - 0.5.0: Added Python 3.9 support and dependency updates. ### Related projects - The documentation compares Gimmecert with OpenSSL CLI and GnuTLS certtool, arguing that those tools are powerful but tedious for small disposable certificate sets. ### Quellen - - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger-Risiko:** blue / mittel - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
