EasyGPG

EasyGPG is a command line tool to help simplify the process of encrypting and decrypting with GPG.

Why

I kept forgetting the GPG commands and got fed up with looking them up.

:)

Usage

easygpg [-e] [-d] [-s] [--help] [-h]

• -e: Triggers the encryption process.

Manual Installation

EasyGPG is dependant on GnuPG... since that's what it was built for. Follow these steps for set up (or figure it out yourself, I'm sure you're smart enough):

1. Installing GnuPG

Debian: sudo apt-get install gnupg
Fedora: sudo dnf install gnupg
Arch: sudo pacman -S gnupg
macOS / OSX: brew install gnupg
Windows: Download from here.

2. Install EasyGPG

Linux and macOS

1. Download the latest EasyGPG release from the releases page.
2. Make the binary executable: chmod +x easygpg
3. Move the binary to a directory in your PATH, e.g., /usr/local/bin: sudo mv easygpg /usr/local/bin/

Windows

1. Download the latest EasyGPG release from the releases page.
2. Rename the downloaded file to easygpg.exe.
