CLI examples

Note: This is a work in progress and subject to change. Only examples are given here, for now.

Create a repository

Create a TUF repository in the current working directory. A cryptographic key is created and set for each top-level role. The Targets role does not sign for any targets nor does it delegate trust to any roles.

$ repo.py --init

Create a TUF repository at ./repo.

$ repo.py --init repo/

By default, pw is used to encrypt the top-level key files. Instead, the user can be prompted for a password.

$ repo.py --init --pw

Create a TUF repository in the current working directory. A cryptographic key is not created nor set for each top-level role.

$ repo.py --init --bare

Create a TUF repository with consistent snapshots enabled. If enabled, all target filenames have their hash prepended.

$ repo.py --init --consistent_snapshots

Add a target file

$ repo.py --add <foo.tar.gz>

Remove the files created via repo.py --init.

$ repo.py --clean
