okay bestie, welcome to join(1) from the Sequoia Manual, and no cap this one is a little bop 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

join — Joins keys or keyrings into a single keyring

like... it literally does what it says on the tin, queen behavior 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

join [-o|--output] [-B|--binary] [-h|--help] [FILE]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Joins keys or keyrings into a single keyring 💅

so you got a bunch of keyrings lying around like scattered scrunchies and you want them all in ONE place? that's the vibe. it's giving "combine into one" and honestly? iconic.

⚠️ okay but listen, this part matters: unlike sq keyring merge, multiple versions of the same key are not merged together. not merged!! do not expect the merge behavior here, that's a whole different girl. this one just joins. periodt.

and the converse operation — like the reverse uno card of this whole thing — is sq keyring split. so if you ever wanna go the other way, that's your girl 🫶

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -o, --output=FILE — Sets the output file to use. so like, where do you want this new keyring to land? you tell it with FILE. slay.
• -B, --binary — Don't ASCII-armor the keyring. by default it gets that cute armored text look, but with this flag you're like "no makeup today, raw binary please" 💀
• -h, --help — Print help information. your girl -h always has the tea when you're lost 🙈
• [FILE] — Sets the input files to use. the actual keyring files you want joined up, bestie 🌈

Collect certs for an email conversation
