Thank you for this project! I’m using Pijul version `1.0.0-beta.11`. I’d like to create an identity non-interactively. Here’s what I’m trying:\[1\]

```bash
pijul identity new --no-link --no-prompt --display-name 'Test User' --email 'noreply@example.com'

```

Unfortunately, this gives me the following error:

```auto
Error: Cannot get path of un-named identity

```

I searched for this error message, and I found [pijul/pijul - Discussion #953 - Regression: pijul identity new --no-prompt never works](https://nest.pijul.org/pijul/pijul/discussions/953), which has a couple of patches that were merged recently. Would it be possible to get a new beta release that includes those patches? Or, alternatively, is there another way that I can create an identity non-interactively, that works on `beta.11`?
