💖 hissh-import(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual page for hissh-import(1) — the iconic little utility that imports OpenSSH private keys into a himitsu(7) keystore ✨ no cap. It’s lowkey obsessed with stdin and highkey here to make your keys slay 💅.

✨ NAME ✨

hissh-import imports OpenSSH private keys into a himitsu(7) keystore 🫶.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

hissh-import < ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

That’s the whole vibe check, bestie: redirect that key file into standard input and let it cook 🍓.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so the hissh-import utility reads OpenSSH private keys from standard input, prompts the user to provide their passphrase if necessary, then stores them in the Himitsu key store 🫶. The way it just handles the passphrase prompt only if necessary? Iconic. It’s giving “stdin in, keys stored, main character energy” — periodt 💅.
