history
Project history and usage
certigo is Square's certificate inspection and validation CLI. Its README positions it as a debugging tool for SSL/TLS issues, with support for common certificate and keystore formats, remote TLS connections, StartTLS protocols, validation, linting, and JSON output.
Project history
The public repository was created in 2016 under square/certigo and has continued to receive upstream releases, including v1.18.0 in 2026. The project is written in Go and documents Go module-based development.
Adoption history
certigo moved beyond a GitHub-only utility into regular package-manager channels. The supplied package facts list APK, Homebrew, MacPorts, Nix, and Scoop, and the README itself documents Homebrew installation for macOS.
How it is used
certigo is commonly used to dump certificate files and keystores, connect to servers to inspect and verify TLS chains, and verify certificate chains against expected names. Its JSON output makes it scriptable with tools such as jq.
Why package nerds care
Package nerds care about certigo because it packages a practical slice of TLS troubleshooting into one portable CLI. It handles formats and protocols that otherwise push users toward several different OpenSSL, keytool, and ad hoc shell invocations.
