Decrypt file

The Step decrypts a file encrypted with gpg. This can be helpful if you would like to store an encrypted file in your repository, like a google-services.json file used to authenticate your project. Using this Step, you can decrypt that file and use it in your Workflow.

To create an encrypted file with gpg:

1. Create a secure passphrase of at least 32 alphanumeric characters: pwgen -s 32 1
2. Encrypt the file; in this example, the file is called my_secret.txt: gpg -c my_secret.txt

Configuring the Step

1. Add the generated passphrase as a Secret to the Passphrase for file decryption input.
2. Specify the location of the encrypted file in the Encrypted file path input.
3. Specify the location where you would like to place the decrypted file in the Output (decrypted) file path input.
