age - r specify public key file

[ghost]

age - r support specify public key file

$ age-keygen -pq | age -p -o encrypted-identity.txt
$ age -r encrypted-identity.txt file.txt > file.txt.age

‑r encrypt cannot specify encrypted‑identity.txt
‑i decrypt can specify encrypted‑identity.txt
This is strange.

age -d -i encrypted-identity.txt file.txt.age > file.txt

age-keygen -pq is long and inconvenient to type in the terminal.

age - r support specify public key file

Use age -R for recipient files.

$ age-keygen -pq | age -p -o encrypted-identity.txt
$ age -r encrypted-identity.txt file.txt > file.txt.age

‑r encrypt cannot specify encrypted‑identity.txt
‑i decrypt can specify encrypted‑identity.txt
This is strange.

Use age -e -i encrypted‑identity.txt

hello str4d I used -R, but it still gives an error.

-R is for a file containing the recipient, not the identity.

If you have the identity file, use -e -i instead.
