.TH KEYRINGER 1 "August 17, 2013" "Keyringer User Manual"
.SH NAME
.PP
keyringer - encrypted and distributed secret sharing software
.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
keyringer <\f[I]keyring\f[]> <\f[I]action\f[]> [\f[I]options\f[]]...
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Keyringer lets you manage and share secrets using GPG and git with
custom commands to encrypt, decrypt, recrypt, create key pairs, etc.
.SH ACTIONS
.PP
Keyringer has three types of actions:
.IP "1." 3
Configuration actions.
.IP "2." 3
Secret manipulation actions.
.IP "3." 3
Repository lookup and manipulation actions.
.SS CONFIGURATION ACTIONS
.PP
commands : List available actions, useful for shell completion and
syntax check.
.PP
options <\f[I]ls\f[]|\f[I]edit\f[]|\f[I]add\f[]> : List, edit or add
miscelaneous \f[I]repository options\f[].
.PP
preferences <\f[I]ls\f[]|\f[I]edit\f[]|\f[I]add\f[]> : List, edit or add
\f[I]user options\f[] for a given repository.
.PP
recipients <\f[I]ls\f[]|\f[I]edit\f[]> <\f[I]recipient-file\f[]> : List
or edit recipient configuration.
.PP
usage : Show usage information.
.SS SECRET MANIPULATION ACTIONS
.PP
All secret manipulation actions operates upon a \f[I]SECRET\f[], which
is the pathname of an encrypted file relative to keyring with optional
\f[C]\&.asc\f[] extension.
.PP
Secret manipulation actions do not commit changes into the secret
repository.
After any manipulation, the user has to manually commit the changes.
.PP
append <\f[I]SECRET\f[]> : Append contents into a secret.
.PP
append-batch <\f[I]SECRET\f[]> : Append contents into a secret, batch
mode.
.PP
decrypt <\f[I]SECRET\f[]> : Decrypts a secret into standard output.
.PP
del <\f[I]SECRET\f[]> : Removes a secret using git.
After deleting a secret a git commit and push is still needed to update
remote repositories.
To completely remove a file from a keyring, you should also rewrite the
git history by yourself.
.PP
edit <\f[I]SECRET\f[]> : Edits a secret by temporarily decrypting it,
opening the decrypted copy into \f[I]$EDITOR\f[] and then recrypting it
again.
.PP
encrypt <\f[I]SECRET\f[]> : Encrypts content from standard input into
\f[I]SECRET\f[].
.PP
encrypt-batch <\f[I]SECRET\f[]> : Encrypt content, batch mode.
.PP
genpair <\f[I]ssh\f[]|\f[I]gpg\f[]|\f[I]ssl\f[]|\f[I]ssl-self\f[]>
[\f[I]options\f[]] : Wrapper to generete encryption keypairs, useful for
automated key deployment.
.PP
recrypt <\f[I]SECRET\f[]> : Recrypts a secret by decrypting it and
recrypting again.
Useful when users are added into recipient configuration.
If no \f[I]SECRET\f[] is given, all secrets in the repository are
re-encrypted.
.SH REPOSITORY LOOKUP AND MANIPULATION ACTIONS
.PP
git <\f[I]action\f[]> <\f[I]options\f[]> : Git wrapper that operates
from the toplevel keyring repository.
.PP
ls <\f[I]PATH\f[]> : List contents from the toplevel repository
\f[I]keys\f[] folder or from relative \f[I]PATH\f[].
.SH SEE ALSO
.PP
The \f[I]README\f[] file distributed with Keyringer contains full
documentation.
.PP
The Keyringer source code and all documentation may be downloaded from
