Commands
| command | what it does |
|---|---|
monkeys set <NAME> | read a value and store it |
monkeys list | print every stored name |
monkeys preview [NAME...] | print each value masked, with its length |
monkeys remove <NAME> | delete one value |
monkeys run <NAME>[,<NAME>] <command> | run a command with those values in its environment |
monkeys run --all <command> | the same, with every stored value |
monkeys run --no-redact <command> | the same, output untouched |
monkeys run <command> | the same, with the names a .monkeys file lists |
monkeys export [NAME...] | keyring lookup lines, to paste into a startup file |
monkeys pack [name] [--only ...] | the profiles as one encrypted name.monkeys |
monkeys unpack <name> [directory] | store its values, write its .monkeys |
monkeys fill @a --with @b | give @a the names it lacks, from @b |
monkeys doctor | what each profile has and lacks |
monkeys doctor --short | one missing @profile: A,B line per gap, for a script or an agent |
monkeys takes no value as an argument, so storing one never types it: your
shell history and the process table both see monkeys set GITHUB_TOKEN and
nothing more. When standard input is not a terminal, set reads the value from
there:
pbpaste | monkeys set GITHUB_TOKEN # macOS
wl-paste | monkeys set GITHUB_TOKEN # Linux, WaylandNaming no name means every name for preview and export, or the project's
names inside a project. run asks to be told, since the names are how it knows what to check for and what to leave out;
--all is there for when you would rather not say. Any command takes a leading
@profile, which is covered below.
Output is coloured only when it is going to a terminal, and never for list
or export, whose output a script or a shell reads. NO_COLOR turns colour off,
CLICOLOR_FORCE turns it on for a pipe, and an empty value for either counts
as unset.
