minisign: Sign a file.
$ minisign -Sm ${filename}
try on your machine

The minisign command is a tool used for signing files with a digital signature. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • minisign: The main command that invokes the minisign tool.
  • -S: Specifies that you want to create a new signature.
  • -m: Indicates that the file to be signed follows the command.
  • ${filename}: This should be replaced with the actual name or path to the file you want to sign. The dollar sign and curly braces are typically used in shell scripting to reference the value of a variable.

So, when you run this command, it will use minisign to create a new signature for the specified file.
