The command "tomb forge ${encrypted_directory-tomb-key}" is running the "forge" action of the "tomb" tool with a specific parameter.
The "tomb" tool is a program used for creating encrypted and secure storage directories, similar to a digital vault. It helps you protect sensitive files and information by encrypting them and storing them in a specified directory.
In the given command, "${encrypted_directory-tomb-key}" is a placeholder for the actual values you need to provide. You should replace it with the relevant values specific to your setup.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "tomb" is the name of the tool.
- "forge" is the action or sub-command of the "tomb" tool that you want to execute. The "forge" action is used to create a new tomb or encrypted storage directory.
- "${encrypted_directory-tomb-key}" is a placeholder for the required parameters. It consists of two parts separated by a hyphen ("-"):
- "encrypted_directory" represents the path or directory where the encrypted tomb will be created. You should specify the file system location where you want to store and access your encrypted files.
- "tomb-key" refers to the key or passphrase that you will need to remember and provide in order to access the encrypted storage later. The key is crucial for unlocking and accessing the encrypted content.
To run this command successfully, you should replace "${encrypted_directory-tomb-key}" with your desired values. For example, you could use something like "tomb forge /home/user/tomb /path/to/tomb-key-file" to create a new encrypted directory at "/home/user/tomb" and provide the key from a file located at "/path/to/tomb-key-file".
