Warning: No available formula with the name "mkcert"

Im using a M1 mac and Im trying to install mkcert using brew,

The command that I use is:

brew install mkcert

This is the error that I get:

brew install mkcert                                                                            
fatal: Could not resolve HEAD to a revision
Warning: No available formula with the name "mkcert".
==> Searching for similarly named formulae...
Error: No similarly named formulae found.
==> Searching for a previously deleted formula (in the last month)...
Error: No previously deleted formula found.
==> Searching taps on GitHub...
Error: No formulae found in taps.

What am I doing wrong?
