BUPSTASH-NEW-KEY(1)

💅 BUPSTASH-NEW-KEY(1) 💅

ok so this is a page from the General Commands Manual (yes, that's the vibe) — it's all about bupstash-new-key, and bestie, it's a short one but it's important 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Generate a new bupstash key. That's the whole gig. iconic.

bupstash new-key -o KEY

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

bupstash new-key creates a brand new bupstash key, and this one is a double threat — it can both encrypt and decrypt repository entries. not me being obsessed with a key that does it all 💅✨

The generated key gets permissions that make it readable by only the creating user. so like, nobody else can peek. as it should be 👑

🚨 okay this is the serious part and I need you to listen: keep your keys safe. Losing a key is the same as losing all data stored using that key. not "oops I'll recover it later" — actually gone. no cap. 😭🔥

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -o, --output PATH — the path to where the new key will be written. that's it, that's the option, and it's kind of a main character 💖

---

🦋 EXAMPLES 🦋

🌈 Create a new key

$ bupstash new-key -o ./backups.key

drop it in a file called backups.key and you're literally done. slay ✨
