# `mix mob.plugin.sign`
[🔗](https://github.com/genericjam/mob_dev/blob/master/lib/mix/tasks/mob.plugin.sign.ex#L1)

Signs the plugin in `<dir>` (default: cwd) and writes
`priv/mob_plugin.sig`. The signature covers the loaded manifest
plus SHA-256 hashes of every file the manifest references.

    mix mob.plugin.sign [--plugin <dir>]

Reads the private key for the plugin's `:name` from
`~/.mob/keys/<name>.priv`. Run `mix mob.plugin.keygen` first if you
haven't already.

After signing, the printed fingerprint can be shared with host
operators so they can run `mix mob.plugin.trust <name>` to record
trust in their `mob.exs`.
