💖 sqop-generate-key 💖

okay bestie, welcome to sqop-generate-key — the little subcommand that literally just... makes you a Secret Key. that's it. that's the whole job. it's the generate-key command of sqop, and it's giving "main character makes a keypair" energy 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

sqop generate-key [--debug] [--no-armor] [--profile] [--signing-only]
[--with-key-password] [-h|--help] [USERIDS]

like, that's the whole vibe. you run it, you get a secret key, you go live your life 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Generates a Secret Key.

that's the description. no notes. it generates a secret key. slay 💅

fr fr though, that's genuinely all it says — this one's a short queen. so let's get into the flags, because that's where the flavor lives 🍓

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --debug — turns on verbose output, so you can see all the behind-the-scenes tea. for debugging, obviously. it's giving "let me peek at what's happening" 👀
  • --no-armor — by default the output gets ASCII-armored (y'know, the cute -----BEGIN PGP...----- glow-up). this flag says don't do that. raw bytes only, no makeup 💀
  • --profile <PROFILE> — picks which profile to use for the key generation. PROFILE is the placeholder, you fill it in. it's a choose-your-own-adventure moment ✨
  • --signing-only — makes a signing-only key. just signing. no other capabilities. focused. dedicated. iconic 🌟
  • --with-key-password <WITH_KEY_PASSWORD> — protects the shiny new key with the password you give it. WITH_KEY_PASSWORD is where your password goes. lock her up 🔐
not me emphasizing that you should actually protect your key with a password if you care about it, bestie. the flag is literally right there 🫶
  • -h, --help — prints help. the classic. every tool has one, and this one is no exception. when in doubt, ask for help 💖
  • [USERIDS] — the UserIDs for the generated key. square brackets mean it's optional, so you can include them or not. this is how people know the key is you 🪪
