If you want to encrypt a file, use the following command:
|
||
|
||
``` bash
|
||
|
||
gpg -c file.txt
|
||
|
||
# options include :
|
||
# gpg -c file.txt : for symmetric encryption
|
||
# gpg -d file.txt.gpg : to decrypt the file
|
||
# gpg --batch -c --passphrase mypassphrase file.txt : accepts passphrase right from command line
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
and to decrypt, use:
|
||
|
||
``` bash
|
||
|
||
gpg -d file.txt
|
||
|
||
# You have to wait 10 minutes before you can get prompted for a password, before this, it will
|
||
# decrypt without the passphrase.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`gpg –batch -c –passphrase Shakkal123! passwords.md`
|
||
|
||
`gpg –batch -d –passphrase Shakkal123! passwords.md.gpg`
|
||
|
||
`gpg –batch –output passwords.md -d –passphrase Shakkal123! passwords.md.gpg`
