| Example hack to encrypt a file using a GPG encryption key. Works with GPG v2.x. | |
| The encrypted file e.g. /tmp/data.txt.gpg can then be decrypted using the standard command | |

| Assumes you have **created** an encryption key and exported armored version. | |
| You have to read the armored key directly as Go cannot read pubring.kbx (yet). | |
| Export your key using command: | |

Hi,
thanks for the script it works as well. but can you provide how to decrypt the encryption
many thanks!
Thank you for this script.
I can't figure out how to decrypt in Go. Is there a chance that you have an example script for decrypting?
It has been a while since I looked at this. Do you still need to decrypt in Go?
No, thank you. I found how to decrypt.
@charger @ayubmalik Can you please share the decrypt code?
No, thank you. I found how to decrypt.
please tell how to decrypt in golang
@Sundar-20, @anand24590
Sorry for a delay with answer.
Here is a gist with an example: https://gist.github.com/charger/4b054f90fb9fa648177a9355418c4685
hi @ayubmalik great script you have there,
but i have a question,
i have a case where i need to encrypt the file using another user publicKey, and sign using my private key
and the output is 1 gpg file,
any clue how to do that?
since in your example you already did encrypt the file and put it into gpg file.
Thank You
Do you have a GPG key and exported it to
/tmp/pubKey.asc? (If your key is in a different location just change the code on line 26)Use
gpg -kto list keys or
gpg --gen-keyto generate a new key. Then export the key using
gpg --export -a "uid of your key here" > /tmp/pubKey.ascHope that helps.
