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]

                        add files to the archive
  -x, --unique          only add unique files, if the file exists an error is thrown
  -u, --update          overwrite existing files if any being passed in match
  -d DIR, --directory DIR
                        when adding files, do it relative to this directory
  -e [EXTR ...], --extract [EXTR ...]
                        extract the files from the archive, if no files given a prompt will ask
  -o, --output          directory to extract files to
  -l, --list            list the contents of the archive

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. If the --unique flag is used, then existing files will cause an error. The --update flag will replace existing files with ones passed in. --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.
