# qGPG

Slightly easier encryption using private/public key pairs

Depends on python-gnupg, and gpg

Install with pip or pipx, from package url: https://six9.net/py/qgpg/current.tar.gz

Usage
=====

- Generate keys:
    - `qgpg --keygen --key ./path/mykey --name "user@name"`
    - This will create private and public keys, mykey and mykey.pub
    - Share the public key to someone who will encrypt data to you
- Encrypt file:
    - `qgpg --encrypt --key ./mykey.pub ./plain_file.txt ./encrypted_file.txt.gpg`
- Encrypt all files recursively in a folder:
    - `qgpg --key ./mykey.pub -r --encrypt ./in_folder/`
    - `qgpg --key ./mykey.pub -r --encrypt ./from_folder/ ./to_another_folder/`
- Decrypt all files with the private key:
    - `qgpg --key ./mykey -r --decrypt ./encrypted_folder/`
- Using passhprase in a variable:
    - `GPGPASS=mysecretpassword qgpg --key ./mykey --decrypt file.gpg file.txt`
- Symmetric encryption:
    - `GPGPASS=mysecretpassword qgpg --encrypt file.txt file.gpg`
