Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert/issues/21

I'm using this tool with vagrant. The services within vagrant need to communicate with each other and therefore need the ca to accept the certificates.
To add the ca I first need to get the certificate. While it is rather easy to find a command to simplify it even more would be nice.

One or both of the following might be useful:
mkcert -capath that just returns the path to rootCA.pem
mkcert -cacopy <path> that copies the rootCA.pem to <path>

As this tools aims to make stuff as easy as possible this might be a good addition as it takes away the extra step figuring out the path of the ca certificate.

$ mkcert -capath

As the names of the files are always the same that would be good, yes.
