append [-f|--force] [-s|--skip] [-r|--rename] SOURCE TARGET
Append operation reads secrets from SOURCE
and merges it to TARGET
.
The TARGET
will be created with a placeholder value if it does not exists.
Both SOURCE
and TARGET
must be leaves (path cannot end with /
).
By default, append
does not overwrite secrets if the TARGET
already contains a key.
The default behavior can be explicitly set using flag: -s
or --skip
. Example:
> cat /secret/from
fruit=apple
vegetable=tomato
> cat /secret/to
fruit=pear
tree=oak
> append --skip /secret/from /secret/to
> cat /secret/to
fruit=pear
vegetable=tomato
tree=oak
Setting flag -f
or --force
will cause the conflicting keys from the <to-secret>
to be overwritten with keys from the <from-secret
>. Example:
> cat /secret/from
fruit=apple
vegetable=tomato
> cat /secret/to
fruit=pear
tree=oak
> append -f /secret/from /secret/to
> cat /secret/to
fruit=apple
vegetable=tomato
tree=oak
Setting flag -r
or --rename
will cause the conflicting keys from the <to-secret>
to be kept as they are. Instead the keys from the <from-secret
> will be stored under a renamed key. Example:
> cat /secret/from
fruit=apple
vegetable=tomato
> cat /secret/to
fruit=pear
tree=oak
> append -r /secret/from /secret/to
> cat /secret/to
fruit=pear
fruit_1=apple
vegetable=tomato
tree=oak
