I have been a fan of https://github.com/FiloSottile/age for a while now, but one thing that has always bothered me about encryption tools is how they don't offer a way to secure a whole directory which, IMO, is a much more common use-case.

I decided to spend a couple hours tackling the problem myself and came up with agevault.

It's a directory encryption tool using age file encryption. It locks/unlocks a vault (directory) with a passphrase-protected identity file and like age, it features no config options, allowing for a straightforward secure flow.

I'll answer any questions regarding it. As always, use it at your own risk.

This is pretty neat! I am using it, and it does scratch an itch I had as well. So simple!

What would the risk of using it be? Will it be inherited from age itself, or something else?
