Encrypt and Save a File with GPG and Vim

#security
#vim
#encryption
#gpg

From within vim:

:w !gpg -c -o myfile.txt.gpg

Or add a command to your .vimrc:

command -nargs=1 WriteEncrypted w !gpg -c -o <q-args>

So you can then simply type:

WriteEncrypted myfile.txt.gpg

Detailed explanation of parameters here:

Did you know?

Most application security programs still stop at the repository. The page a visitor loads can run third-party scripts that read the DOM, change a checkout, or steal a session after the deploy already looks clean.
