What do you use Age for?

File encryption is useful for many reasons to encrypt sensitive contents over the web or offline storage, what do you use Age for in real world?

I recently worked to replicate the signing CI I proposed for Age, on my own project. The difficulty is that I'm signing Powershell, and the only tooling to do that was.. very messy. One aspect is that it required a binary file.

In the end, the nicest way to bundle my certificates was to Age encrypt them with -a, and place the decryption key in a Github secret. You can find some horrible Powershell here that downloads Age and powers it all:

Like many others, I use Age to encrypt anything that is being put into cold cloud storage. Very easy to integrate into my automation workflows for both directions of the encrypt\decrypt routines.
