- Generate a new keypair at the default location:
`minisign -G`
- Sign a file:
`minisign -Sm {{path/to/file}}`
- Sign a file, adding a trusted (signed) and an untrusted (unsigned) comment in the signature:
`minisign -Sm {{path/to/file}} -c "{{Untrusted comment}}" -t "{{Trusted comment}}"`
- Verify a file and the trusted comments in its signature using the specified public key file:
`minisign -Vm {{path/to/file}} -p {{path/to/publickey.pub}}`
- Verify a file and the trusted comments in its signature, specifying a public key as a Base64 encoded literal:
`minisign -Vm {{path/to/file}} -P "{{public_key_base64}}"`
