Can this easily be built to a x86 Linux binary? So I don’t have to have cargo installed?

I wish I knew where to get super useful commands like this! Thanks

Learn the tools and how to work with pipelines in the shell. Read the manpages etc. Unix philosophy is that everything does one thing but can be easily linked through pipelines. Then you can combine tools to do arbitrary things like this, rather than memorizing incantations.

I was going to say...this can be accomplished in any shell environment with a couple of lines and an executable that encrypts data.

I will soon add binaries in Github Releases

Edit: You can download binaries from Release tab

man tar has several
