gpg-tui: Start `gpg-tui` with color and ASCII armored output.
$ gpg-tui --style ${colored} --armor
try on your machine

The command gpg-tui --style ${colored} --armor is used to launch a text-based user interface (TUI) for GNU Privacy Guard (GPG) with a specified style and output format.

Here is a breakdown of the different components:

  1. gpg-tui: This is the executable command for launching the GPG TUI. GPG is a free and open-source implementation of the OpenPGP encryption standard.

  2. --style ${colored}: This flag sets the style of the TUI interface. ${colored} is likely a variable that holds a value specifying the colored style for better visual distinction and readability. This style option enhances the appearance of the user interface by using different colors for different elements.

  3. --armor: This flag specifies that the output should be in ASCII armor format. ASCII armor is a way of representing binary data (such as encrypted messages or cryptographic keys) using only printable ASCII characters. It is commonly used for exchanging secure data through non-binary mediums (e.g., email).

Therefore, when executing the command, it will launch the GPG TUI with the specified style set to ${colored}, providing a visually appealing interface, and the output generated will be in ASCII armor format.
