Name
sq-key-adopt - Binds keys from one certificate to another
This command allows one to transfer primary keys and subkeys into an existing certificate. Say you want
to transition to a new certificate, but have an authentication subkey on your current certificate. You
want to keep the authentication subkey because it allows access to SSH servers and updating their
configuration is not feasible.
Options
-r, --keyring KEY-RING
Supplies keys for use in --key.
-k, --key KEY
Adds the key or subkey KEY to the TARGET-KEY
-o, --output FILE
Writes to FILE or stdout if omitted
