Show HN: Send encrypted secrets from the command line

I made something similar, but the payload gets encrypted with the users ssh rsa key instead of pgp (that not many use):

  ./sshencdec.sh -p <(curl -sf "https://github.com/S2-.keys" | \

  grep ssh-rsa | tail -n1) < plain-text-file.txt

It's just a simple bash script really, but it works, and almost everyone has a github account and an ssh key set up, so it works out of the box with most developers.

That's cool!

We were doing similar things ourselves with GPG. But ultimately we'd forget the exact command, or the copy-pasting in then out of Slack was enough of a barrier that we'd basically never bother.

Curious how such a small barrier was a blocker. Our hypothesis is that, if we can make `fk secret send` easier than literally everything else, people will default to it, and it'll be a win for security. We shall see!
