Encrypt / Decrypt files using SHA-256

Filecrypt

Encrypt and decrypt files with ease so that you can securely check them in to source control.

Files are encrypted with OpenSSL AES-256 algorithm.

Basic Usage

Encrypt

Usage: npx cryptfile encrypt file=<path-to-file> pw=<password>

Example: npx cryptfile encrypt file=./src/Crypt.ts pw=hunter2

Output: ./src/Crypt.ts.enc

Decrypt

Usage: npx cryptfile decrypt file=<path-to-file> pw=<password>

Example:

npx cryptfile decrypt file=./src/Crypt.ts pw=hunter2
npx cryptfile decrypt file=./src/Crypt.ts.enc pw=hunter2

Output: ./src/Crypt.ts

Configuration File

.filecrypt.cfg

<path-to-file-#1>
<path-to-file-#2>
<path-to-file-#3>

Example:

package.json
package.lock.json
src/Crypt.ts

Encrypt from .cryptfile.cfg

Usage: npx cryptfile encrypt cfg=<path-to-cryptfile.cfg> pw=<password≥

Example: npx encrypt cryptfile cfg=.cryptfile.cfg pw=hunter2

Decrypt from .cryptfile.cfg

Usage: npx cryptfile decrypt cfg=<path-to-cryptfile.cfg> pw=<password≥

Example: npx decrypt cryptfile cfg=.cryptfile.cfg pw=hunter2

npx-cryptfile's Issues

Do you mean AES-256 (not SHA-256)?

SHA-256 is a hash algorithm ("one-way" encryption; result cannot be converted back to the original), and it looks like you are passing the -aes-256-cbc option to OpenSSL
here.
However, the README.md file states:

Files are encrypted with OpenSSL SHA-256 algorithm.
