In plain words

Acmetool is an automatic certificate acquisition tool designed for ACME-compatible services like Let's Encrypt. It works similarly to the "make" command, automating the process of obtaining and managing SSL/TLS certificates. The tool is intended for system administrators and developers who need to streamline certificate management for their servers and applications.
