Tar GnuPG

Manage a secure archive containing sensative docs.

You might be thinking, "Hey there's already a gpgtar which seems to do exactly this, why don't I use that?", and you could be right, depending on your needs. The biggest difference is this package allows you to add files to an existing archive. (It technically creates a new one and overwrites your old one, but does it without you needing to worry about that). That's my biggest use case anyway. Also, I was bad at searching and didn't realize that program existed before writing this one (I had even initally given them the same name by coincidence).

newpass

Change the password of the archive, can be loaded from a file either from the --filename flag or user prompt. If no file is given, user is asked to type password.

create

Auto create the archive if it does not already exist.

passfile

Load the password of the archive from a file instead of stdin.

add

Add new files to the archive. --directory sets the working directory so files are added relative to that directory.

update

Update existing files in the archive. If they don't exist then an error will be raised. --directory sets the working directory so files are added relative to that directory.

remove

Remove existing files in the archive. If they don't exist then an error will be raised. --directory sets the working directory so files are added relative to that directory.

extract

Extract files from the archive. If the flag is used with no arguments, you will be asked which files you want to extract. The --output flag will set the directory to extract the files to.

list

List the contents of the archive.
