Usage
Note: The extension allows encryption/decryption/sign/verify on the text editor as follows:
For encryption, on a text editor, select your plaintext, access to the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P on OSX or Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows and Linux), choose GPG: Encrypt and follow the instructions.
For decryption, select an encrypted text and choose GPG: Decrypt on the Command Palette. A prompt for providing the passphrase will be shown.
Using stored passphrase in settings
Edit your local settings.json and add the following:
{
"gpg.passphrases": [
{
"email": "test@test.com",
"description": "My PGP Test Key",
"passphrase": "myRobustAndUniquePassphrase"
}
]
}
The stored passphrase will be listed to chose to use for decryption.
If no stored passphrase is chosen then the regular prompt will appear.
Requirements
This extension depends upon GnuPG>=2.0 running on the host system. Please refer to the project website to find a compatible version with your system.
