Encry

A simple command-line tool for encrypting and decrypting files.

Usage

encry -e <file>   # Encrypt a file
encry -d <file>   # Decrypt a file

Installing a build

The installers expect a compiled binary. Example builds:

# macOS (run on the target Mac)
GOOS=darwin GOARCH=$(go env GOARCH) go build -o build/encry .

# Windows build from macOS/Linux
GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build -o build/encry.exe .

macOS

The macOS ZIP file should contain:

encry-macos/
├── encry
└── install-macos.sh

After extracting the ZIP file, run:

cd encry-macos
chmod +x install-macos.sh
./install-macos.sh

The installer uses /usr/local/bin. If that directory is not writable, it offers a per-user installation in ~/.local/bin.

Windows PowerShell

The Windows ZIP file should contain:

encry-win/
├── encry.exe
└── install-windows.ps1

After extracting the ZIP file, run this in PowerShell:

.\install-windows.ps1

By default, the installer copies encry.exe to $HOME\.local\bin and adds that directory to the user PATH. Open a new terminal afterwards.

• make the encryption algorithm special to this cli
• better printouts
• encryption/decryption of directories ...
