git-annex-transferkey(1)

💖 git-annex-transferkey — the manual page, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the General Commands Manual section of the git-annex docs, and it's literally the ✨ single-key transfer ✨ girlie of the family. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

git-annex-transferkey — transfers a key from or to a remote 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

git annex transferkey key [--from=remote|--to=remote]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so this is a plumbing-level command, which is a fancy way of saying it's the low-level, down-in-the-trenches machinery — not the sparkly porcelain stuff. its whole entire job? request that a single key be transferred. one key. that's the vibe. no more, no less. periodt 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --from=remote — download the content of the key from the remote. it's giving "bring it to me" 🫶
• --to=remote — upload the content of the key to the remote. it's giving "take it, it's yours" ✨
• --file=name — gives a little hint about the name of the file that's associated with the key. and ngl, that name is only used in progress displays — nowhere else, so don't go thinking it does more than it does 🙈
• also, the git-annex-common-options(1) can be used. yeah, all of those. iconic 👑

okay that's the whole page!! the footer down at the bottom just says git-annex-transferkey(1) again — no version, no date, just the name doing a little encore — so like, that's all the source/version/date tea we have. hope this helped bestie, go transfer that key, slay, bye!! 🌈⭐🎀💖
