GPG Decrypt with Keybase CLI

The Keybase CLI provides a straightforward method for decrypting messages that have been encrypted using GPG. This is particularly useful for securely handling sensitive information shared via Keybase's PGP encryption features.

To decrypt content that you have copied to your clipboard, you can pipe the output of pbpaste (on macOS) or a similar clipboard utility to the Keybase PGP decrypt command.

Command for GPG Decryption

pbpaste | base64 -d | keybase pgp decrypt

This command sequence first decodes the base64 encoded content from your clipboard (assuming it's base64 encoded, which is common for PGP messages) and then passes it to the keybase pgp decrypt command for decryption. Ensure you have Keybase installed and configured on your system to use this functionality.
