This command is using the "age" command-line tool to encrypt a file using a passphrase. Here's a breakdown of each part of the command:
age: This is the command itself. It is a program used for file encryption and decryption.--passphrase: This option tells the "age" command that you want to use a passphrase for encryption.--output ${path-to-encrypted_file}: This option specifies the output file path where the encrypted file will be saved. You need to replace${path-to-encrypted_file}with the actual path where you want to save the encrypted file.${path-to-unencrypted_file}: This is the path to the file you want to encrypt. You need to replace${path-to-unencrypted_file}with the actual path of the file you want to encrypt.
So, when you run this command, the "age" command-line tool will encrypt the file specified by ${path-to-unencrypted_file} using a passphrase. The encrypted file will be saved at the location specified by ${path-to-encrypted_file}.
