try on your machine

This command compares the decrypted content of two YAML files, secret1-enc.yaml and secret2-enc.yaml, using the diff command.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

<(sops -d ${path-to-secret1-enc-yaml}): This part decrypts the content of the secret1-enc.yaml file using the sops command and passes the decrypted content as input to the diff command.
- ${path-to-secret1-enc-yaml} is the placeholder for the actual path to secret1-enc.yaml. Make sure to replace it with the correct file path.
<(sops -d ${path-to-secret2-enc-yaml}): This part decrypts the content of the secret2-enc.yaml file using sops command and passes the decrypted content as input to the diff command.
- ${path-to-secret2-enc-yaml} is the placeholder for the actual path to secret2-enc.yaml. Replace it with the correct file path.
diff <(sops -d ${path-to-secret1-enc-yaml}) <(sops -d ${path-to-secret2-enc-yaml}): The diff command compares the decrypted content of both files, highlighting the differences between them.

Overall, this command helps identify the differences between the decrypted content of two encrypted YAML files.
