sops: Rotate data keys for a sops file.
$ sops -r ${path-to-myfile-enc-yaml}
try on your machine

The command sops -r ${path-to-myfile-enc-yaml} is used to decrypt and display the contents of an encrypted YAML file. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • sops: sops is a command-line tool used for encrypting and decrypting files using the secrets management system.
  • -r: This option tells sops to decrypt and display the contents of the file specified.
  • ${path-to-myfile-enc-yaml}: This is a placeholder indicating that you need to provide the actual file path of the encrypted YAML file that you want to decrypt and view.

So, by running this command and replacing ${path-to-myfile-enc-yaml} with the actual path, sops will decrypt the contents of the encrypted YAML file and display it in the terminal or command prompt.
