Project description
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).
Usage
usage: targpg [-h] [-V] [-v] [-q] [-c] [-p PASSFILE] [-a [ADD ...]] [-x] [-u] [-d DIR]
