NAME

       adopt - Binds keys from one certificate to another

SYNOPSIS

       adopt   [-r|--keyring]   <-k|--key>  [--allow-broken-crypto]  [-o|--output]  [-B|--binary]
       [-h|--help] [TARGET-KEY]

DESCRIPTION

       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

       --allow-broken-crypto
              Allows adopting keys from certificates using broken cryptography

       -o, --output=FILE
              Writes to FILE or stdout if omitted

       -B, --binary
              Emits binary data

       -h, --help
              Print help information

       [TARGET-KEY]
              Adds keys to TARGET-KEY

EXAMPLES

        Adopt an subkey into the new cert

               sq key adopt --keyring juliet-old.pgp --key 0123456789ABCDEF -- juliet-new.pgp
