        About Gimmecert
        ===============
        
        Gimmecert is a simple CLI tool for quickly issuing X.509 server and
        client certificates using locally-generated CA hierarchy with minimal
        hassle.
        
        The tool is useful for issuing certificates in:
        
        - Local environment, when trying out a piece of new software that
          depends on use of certificates.
        - Development environment, when it is necessary to issue certificates
          either for purpose of integration with other systems, or for ability
          to develop new feature that involves use of certificates.
        - Testing/CI/CD environment, when it is necessary to deploy/configure
          tests to use certificates in order to ensure the tests are run
          properly and in full.
        
        At time of this writing, Gimmecert is compatible with the following
        Python versions:
        
        - *Python 3.4*
        - *Python 3.5*
        - *Python 3.6*
        
        
        Why was this tool created?
        --------------------------
        
        The tool was created to remove the pain of setting-up a CA hierarchy,
        and then using this hierarchy to issue a couple of test certificates.
        
        While there are existing tools that can be used to this end (in
        particular the OpenSSL's CLI and GnuTLS' ``certtool``), the process of
        using them is tedious, slow, and error-prone.
        
        There are some more long-lived solutions out there, in form of
        full-blown CAs, but those can be both an overkill and resource hog
        when all a person needs is a couple of certificates that can be thrown
        away.
        
        
        Features
        --------
        
        Gimmecert provides the following features:
        
        - It is very easy to use. Commands are intuitive, and require minimal
          input from the user.
        - Initialisation of CA hierarchy for issuing certificates. CA
          hierarchy depth can be specified, letting you easily simulate your
          production environment.
        - Issuance of TLS server certificates, with any number of DNS subject
          alternative names.
        - Issuance of TLS client certificates.
        - All generated artifacts stored within a single sub-directory
          (``.gimmecert``), relative to directory where command is
          invoked. This allows you to easily issue per-project testing
          certificates.
