Personal CLI utility tool to easily encrypt and decrypt files in a directory.
Project description
🔒 locksey 🔒
Personal CLI utility tool to easily encrypt and decrypt files in a directory. Can be used to encrypt secrets in a repo, MFA recovery codes, password text files, your journal/diary entries or any text file with personal or confidential information.
How does it work?
-
If you want a file in a directory to work with locksey, you name the file with ending with
.unlocked.*
extension. When you runlocksey lock <password>
, it will recursively find all.unlocked.*
files, encrypt them and rename them to.locked.*
. -
Similarly when you run
locksey unlock <password>
, it will recursively find all.locked.*
files, decrypt them and rename them to.unlocked.*
. -
You can also tell locksey to store the password in you home folder so you don't have to type it again.
-
Files are encrypted as described in this stackoverflow post.
