Example of use

Encrypt your file secret.txt for GitHub user octacat and save it as sceret.zip.

git-caesar -u octacat -i secret.txt -o secret.zip

In the same situation, the private key uses ~/.ssh/id_secret.

git-caesar -u octacat -i secret.txt -o secret.zip -k ~/.ssh/id_secret

Decrypt GitLab user tanuki's file secret.zip and save it as sceret.txt.

git-caesar -d -u https://gitlab.com/tanuki.keys -i secret.zip -o secret.txt

Same situation, no signature verification.

git-caesar -d -i secret.zip -o secret.txt
