Revoking a key instructs me to use an invalid command #1927

Open djmitche opened 8 years ago

djmitche commented 8 years ago
 To remove this PGP key, you must sign a statement using a device key.

# from the command line
keybase revoke '....'

# if you want to confirm this key's id first, this
# will list your keys
keybase status

But

dustin@hopper ~ $ keybase revoke '...'
No help topic for 'revoke'

I think (hope?) the correct command is keybase pgp drop.

You're exactly right about pgp drop. Sorry for the bad docs. Where did you see those buggy docs?

Thanks so much for the great feedback, we really appreciate it

djmitche commented 8 years ago

Sorry, on my profile page, "edit" the key, "Revoke this public key"

I just ran into this too.

As @djmitche says, this isn't in docs - it's the actual instruction and only way of revoking the public key.

If like me you didn't manage to work out it was pgp drop (.. I did try pgp revoke at least!) then you're rather stuck.
