The command "keybase decrypt" is a command used in Keybase, a platform that provides end-to-end encryption for various purposes. This specific command decrypts a file using Keybase.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • "keybase decrypt": This is the main command that tells Keybase to perform a decryption operation.
  • "--infile ${input_file}": This specifies the input file to be decrypted. The ${input_file} should be replaced with the actual file path or name.
  • "--outfile ${output_file}": This specifies the output file where the decrypted content will be saved. The ${output_file} should be replaced with the intended output file path or name.

Overall, this command is used to decrypt a file using Keybase, with the input file being specified by "--infile" and the output file by "--outfile".
