Show HN: Ward – a file vault written in bash

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.
