gpg-zip: Decrypt `archive.gpg` into a directory of the same name.
$ gpg-zip --decrypt ${path-to-archive-gpg}
try on your machine

The command "gpg-zip --decrypt ${path-to-archive-gpg}" is used to decrypt a GPG-encrypted archive file.

Here's a breakdown of each element in the command:

  • "gpg-zip": This is the command-line tool used for encrypting and decrypting files and directories using GPG (GNU Privacy Guard).
  • "--decrypt": This flag specifies that we want to decrypt the specified file.
  • "${path-to-archive-gpg}": This is the placeholder for the actual path to the GPG-encrypted archive file. You need to replace "${path-to-archive-gpg}" with the actual file path, including the file name and extension.

By running this command and providing the correct path to the GPG-encrypted archive file, the tool will decrypt the archive and extract its contents.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
