Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert/issues/72

Ability to customise the names of output key and cert files would be a great usability feature

I suggest flags like

--o-key-file
--o-cert-file

mkcert example.com '*.example.org' myapp.dev localhost 127.0.0.1 ::1  --o-key-file my-cert.pem  --o-cert-file my-key.pem

would generate my-cert.pem and my-key.pem instead of the random looking ./example.com+5.pem ./example.com+5-key.pem

Alternatively, maybe the openssl req syntax?

-out outfile        Output file
-keyout outfile     File to send the key to

Either way, the feature would be greatly appreciated! (I might look into doing it, but I know nothing about Golang yet)

I'd suggest avoiding adopting flag naming conventions from openssl.

--cert-file and --key-file ?

I just add a PR to fix this, #77 . Just notice that, you should put the params before arguments insead of after them.

This will not work.

mkcert example.com '*.example.org' myapp.dev localhost 127.0.0.1 ::1  --o-key-file my-cert.pem  --o-cert-file my-key.pem

This works.

mkcert --key-file my-cert.pem  --cert-file my-key.pem example.com '*.example.org' myapp.dev localhost 127.0.0.1 ::1

Not a fan of adding flags, but giving in to this after seeing scripts reimplement the naming logic to find the certificates after they are generated.
