JETRING-GEN(1)

✨ JETRING-GEN ✨ (from the jetring commands manual, bestie 💖)

okay so. you have two keyrings. one is literally the glow-up version of the other. this lil command figures out what changed and writes you a whole ✨receipt✨ of changesets so you can replay the drama later. it's giving time-travel but for keys 🔑

🌸 NAME 🌸

jetring-gen — generates changesets for changes between two keyrings 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

jetring-gen oldring.gpg newring.gpg [comment]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so picture this: you've got two keyrings, and one of them is just an old version of the other. this command ✨does the thing✨ where it generates a whole sequence of changesets, and when you apply those to the old keyring with jetring-apply, you should end up with the new keyring. like, the exact new keyring. no cap 🫶

the optional comment parameter is a comment that gets put in each changeset. every single one. yes, all of them, it's not picky 💖

and the names of the generated changesets? those get output to stdout. so like, pipe them somewhere cute or just vibe and read them 📜✨

ngl, this is lowkey the most satisfying part of the jetring pipeline. you're literally diffing keyrings. main character energy fr fr 👑
