Show HN: Ward – a file vault written in bash

just wanted to share ward, a tool i hacked together to encrypt and manage sensitive files in a vault folder. it’s written in bash and meant to be cloned and then stored using git or version control.

but you don’t have to store it that way, it’s just why i created it.

what ward does:

– encrypts the files in ./vault/ into a single .gpg file
– checks if your files have been tampered with
– generates totp codes if you need them

how to use it:

– clone the repo
– toss your files into the vault directory
– run yarn encrypt
– commit to your new [private] repository, or save it somewhere

that’s it. repo link: https://github.com/oeo/ward

feedback welcome, or just let me know if you find it useful.
