A simple command line jwt token generator based on a rsa private key.
By default it will print a JWT token with iss, nbf and exp set which is signed by the private key in ~/.ssh/id_rsa.:
iss - will be set to the current user name nbf - will be set to 1 minute in the past exp - will be set to 30 minutes in the future.
You can override the default settings on the command line.
