Description

Create a new key

polycli signer create [flags]

Usage

The create subcommand will create a new key pair. By default, a hex private key will be written to stdout.

polycli signer create > private-key.txt

If you need to work with a go-ethereum style keystore, a key can be added by setting a --keystore directory. When you run this command, you'll need to specify a password to encrypt the private key.

polycli signer create --keystore /tmp/keystore

Polycli also has basic support for KMS with GCP. Creating a new key in the cloud can be accomplished with a command like this

# polycli assumes that there is default login that's been done already
gcloud auth application-default login
polycli signer create --kms GCP --gcp-project-id prj-polygonlabs-devtools-dev --key-id jhilliard-trash
