git-annex-setkey(1)

💅 git-annex-setkey(1) — the manual page, bestie edition 🎀

okay so this is a page from the git-annex manual (General Commands Manual, if you're keeping track) and it's about one very specific little plumbing command. let's get into it ✨

✨ NAME ✨

git-annex-setkey — sets annexed content for a key

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

git annex setkey key file

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the vibe: this is a plumbing-level command (iykyk — plumbing commands are the low-level ones, not the cute porcelain ones you show your friends). what it does is it makes the content of the key you specify get set to the file you specify. and then? the file gets moved into the annex. slay.

🫶 real talk though: it's generally a better idea to use git-annex-reinject(1) instead of this command. like, genuinely. the manpage says so, so I'm saying so. bestie, use reinject.

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

• the git-annex-common-options(1) can be used — that's it, that's the options section, she's simple and she knows it 💅

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

• git-annex(1)
• git-annex-reinject(1)
• git-annex-dropkey(1)
