I want to create ssh and smb credentials from gvm-cli, I see no create command for them present in the documentation (https://docs.greenbone.net/API/GMP/gmp-7.0.html#command_create_target)but in create target command I see there is an option to pass ssh_credential id but not sure how or where to get it.

create_target_ssh_credential
** = element ssh_credential**
** {**
** attribute id { uuid }**
** & create_target_ssh_credential_port?**
** }**

create_target_ssh_credential_port
** = element port**
** {**
** text**
** }**

create_target_smb_credential
** = element smb_credential**
** {**
** attribute id { uuid }**
** }**

create_target_esxi_credential
** = element esxi_credential**
** {**
** attribute id { uuid }**
** }**

please help me with a solution

You have to create a ssh credential via create_credential command first
