chmod 600 /path/to/your_secret #8

Closed danyeaw closed 2 years ago

A couple of recommendation, and I can submit a PR if this makes sense:

  1. Make /path/to/your_secret your $HOME/.gnupg folder. This helps ensure that it has the right permissions as a location along since we are already encrypting/decrypting with gpg
  2. chmod 600 /path/to/your_secret so that other users can't access it

I thought these changes to the README would help new users who might not know about file permissions.

No I don't think it's necessary... The user should know what he is doing, and making a long README even longer would confuse these Linux newbies...
