How to create self-signed SSL certificates for localhost

Create a directory in your user root directory where we will store the necessary generated files.

$ cd ~/
$ mkdir .localhost
$ cd .localhost

Now run this single command and you will have both a certificate and private key which was used to sign the certificate.

	#!/usr/bin/env bash

	VERSION="${1#[vV]}"
	VERSION_MAJOR="${VERSION%%.*}"
	VERSION_MINOR_PATCH="${VERSION#*.}"
	VERSION_MINOR="${VERSION_MINOR_PATCH%%.*}"
	VERSION_PATCH_PRE_RELEASE="${VERSION_MINOR_PATCH#*.}"
	VERSION_PATCH="${VERSION_PATCH_PRE_RELEASE%%[-+]*}"
	VERSION_PRE_RELEASE=""
