✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So basically, this makes you a brand new key pair. slay. 💅

The private key gets stored in the file you give it, in OpenSSH private-key format. The public key that matches it gets the same name plus a ".pub" suffix, and it's written in OpenSSH public-key format. two files, one command, main character energy honestly. ✨

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • --help — shows you the usage message and then just… dips. exits. bye. 👋
  • -o, --output=key-file — the file where the private key goes. this one is required, no cap, you literally cannot skip it. 🫶

If something goes wrong, you get a non-zero return code. that's the failure signal, periodt. 💀
