This is a tiny go script that just generates a single, 256-bit bip39 mnemonic from a cryptographic randomness source. It's a tiny executable wrapper around the github.com/tyler-smith/go-bip39 package.
If you're looking for a CLI tool with more than one feature, you probably want the bip39 tool over here: https://github.com/kubetrail/bip39
Installation and usage are pretty simple though. Assuming no familiarity with standard module handling in go:
- Have the go compiler toolchain installed. You can check this by running
go version. - Run
go install github.com/reserve-protocol/tiny39@latest.
Just ~/go/bin/tiny39. It takes no options.
Or, if you've tinkered with your go defaults before and you no longer know where your binary , run $(go env GOPATH)/bin/tiny39.
Output will look something like:
