Create Valid SSL in localhost for XAMPP

Here’s the step by step guide:

1. Navigate to Apache directory in XAMPP. eg: C:\xampp\apache

2. Create a folder in that page This is where we will store our cert. In this example I will create crt folder. So we will have C:\xampp\apache\crt

3. Add this files cert.conf and make-cert.bat

4. Push changes to remote repo git push

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me on social media.

Happy coding 😄, --Vinod
