sq

A modern OpenPGP command-line tool. See also: gpg. More information: https://sequoia-pgp.gitlab.io/sequoia-sq/man/sq.1.html.

• Encrypt a file using a password (symmetric encryption):

sq encrypt --with-password --without-signature {{path/to/file}} --output {{path/to/file.pgp}}

• Decrypt a password-protected file:

sq decrypt {{path/to/file.pgp}} --output {{path/to/file}}

• Inspect an OpenPGP file to see its metadata and structure:

sq inspect {{path/to/file.pgp}}

• Verify a file with a detached signature and a certificate file:

sq verify --signer-file {{path/to/signer.asc}} --signature-file {{path/to/file.sig}} {{path/to/file}}

• Verify a file with an embedded (cleartext) signature and a certificate file:

sq verify --signer-file {{path/to/signer.asc}} --cleartext {{path/to/file}}

• Generate own key, and save it on the local key store:

sq key generate --own-key --name {{name}} --email {{name@example.com}}

• List all secret keys or certs managed by the local key store:

sq {{key|cert}} list

• List current configuration and storage paths:

sq config inspect paths
