just wanted to share ward, a tool i hacked together to encrypt and manage sensitive files in a vault folder. it's written in bash and meant to be cloned and then stored using git or version control.
you don't have to store it that way, it's just why i created it.
what ward does:
encrypts the files in ./vault/ into a single .gpg file, checks to see if your files have been tampered with, generates totp codes if you need them to recover critical accounts.
how to use it:
clone the repo, toss your files into the vault directory, and run yarn encrypt. now commit your new [private] repository or save it somewhere.
that's it. repo link: https://github.com/oeo/ward
feedback welcome, or just let me know if you find it useful.
