Shell utility to encrypt a file into a self-decrypting script

In plain words

This shell utility encrypts files into self-decrypting scripts that can be executed directly. When run, the script decrypts and extracts the original file without requiring additional tools or passwords to be entered separately. It combines encryption with executable shell scripts, making it useful for anyone needing to securely distribute files while maintaining ease of use. The tool was released in 2016 and is available on GitHub.
