Description

Compress/Decompress, Encode and Decode any file to a z85 string.
Useful to store binaries in text format, for NFC cards/stickers/keychains or anywhere you want.

Build

#Build
❯ cargo build --release

Usage

Compress a file and encode bytes to z85

#Create a test file
echo "This is a test" >> raw.txt
#Process
❯ ./target/release/byteme raw.txt
#Output
C?JLE:sHu(Qc%Y#!z.8[04z%)###00

Decode z85 and decompress back to original file

#Decode
❯ echo 'C?JLE:sHu(Qc%Y#!z.8[04z%)###00' | ./target/release/byteme out.txt
#Check your new file
❯ cat out.txt
This is a test

Encryption

Encrypt a file using gpg and process with byteme

#Interactive mode
❯ gpg -c --no-symkey-cache raw.txt
#No interactive mode
❯ gpg --batch --passphrase 'somepass' -c raw.txt

Now run the steps above but using <filename>.gpg instead.

Decryption

❯ gpg -d raw.txt.gpg
