Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert/issues/163

I'm running a windows host with mkcert installed on a Linux VM, but there's no easy way to install the mkcert root CA inside Windows host.

from windows Host, I would like to run mkcert -install -url https://192.168.1.100:9999/ca.pem.

The ca.pem could be published on the Vagrant VM side with mkcert -serve-ca 9999.

Would you accept a pull request for this feature ?

Network file transfers are complicated. What about copying the needed file (or generated certificate for windows) outside of mkcert?

I think this falls outside the scope of mkcert.

The instructions for how to do it manually are at https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert#installing-the-ca-on-other-systems
