Oh nevermind, age doesn't do any of that. Indeed, it doesn't even do email https://github.com/FiloSottile/age/issues/93

Heh.

Now send a file encrypted by age to two addressees, who don't need to know each other's decryption keys.

After that, sign an email without encrypting it; do the same with a git commit, or a Debian package.

GPG has features well beyond the simple encryption (which age does) because there are real uses for that.

'age' is really impressive, it's helped me get a better grasp on GPG.

I'm not joking, it's genuinely user-friendly, and I certainly prefer it over GPG.

Interestingly, its simplicity makes everything about GPG suddenly make more sense.

Has this project ever received a security audit?
Age is excellent. Fast and easy for anyone to grasp
