Ask HN: CLI Tool for File Encryption?
I recently came across sigtool[1] which on the surface looks like a slightly more well defined tool/format for encryption than age[2].
And they both attempt to be simpler, more modern than gnupg[3] and easier to use than eg: openssl[4].
Which tool do you use/recommend for encrypting files, and why?
My primary use case is for backups - but interested in other use-cases as well.
