Minisign Miscellanea

macOS workflows and shell scripts to verify and sign files with minisign

Prerequisites

Install using Homebrew with brew install <software-name> (or with a similar manager)

• minisign
• terminal-notifier

You need to have Spotlight enabled for mdfind to locate the terminal-notifier.app on your volume; if you don't install terminal-notifier, or if you have deactivated Spotlight, the minisign scripts will call notifications via AppleScript instead

Because Minisign Miscellanea use the macOS Notification Center, the minimum Mac OS requirement is OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion).

Installation & Usage

• Download the latest DMG and open

Workflows

• Double-click on the workflow files to install
• If you encounter problems, open them with Automator and save/install from there
• Standard Finder integration in the Services menu

Shell scripts [optional]

• Move the scripts to /usr/local/bin
• In your shell enter chmod +x /usr/local/bin/minisign-verify.sh and chmod +x /usr/local/bin/minisign-sign.sh
• Run the scripts with minisign-verify.sh /path/to/your/file and minisign-sign.sh /path/to/your/file

Only necessary if for some reason you want to run this from the shell or another shell script.

General Notes

• My own minisign public key for releases on Github will be created in ${HOME}/Documents/minisign
