The keybase sign
command is a command-line tool provided by Keybase, a platform for secure messaging and file sharing. This particular command is used to sign a file using your Keybase identity and generate a signed version of that file.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
keybase sign
: This is the main command that instructs Keybase to sign a file.
--infile ${input_file}
: This specifies the input file that you want to sign. ${input_file}
is a placeholder, and you need to replace it with the actual path or name of the file you want to sign.
--outfile ${output_file}
: This specifies the output file where the signed version of the input file will be saved. Similarly, ${output_file}
is a placeholder that you need to replace with the desired path or name for the signed file.
In summary, this command allows you to sign a file using your Keybase identity, providing a way to verify that the file has not been tampered with and was signed by you.
