zvault-addkey(1) -- Add a key pair to the repository
====================================================

## SYNOPSIS

`zvault addkey [OPTIONS] [FILE] <REPO>`


## DESCRIPTION

This subcommand adds a new key pair to the repository `REPO`.

If `FILE` is given, the key pair is read from the file and added to the
repository.

If `--generate` is set, a new key pair is generated, printed to console and
added to the repository. If `--password` is also set, the key pair will be
derived from the given password instead of creating a random one.

If `--default` is set, encryption will be enabled (if not already) and the new
key will be set as default encryption key.
