FAQ

1. Why the script does not work as I intended?

• Answer: As the script is currently in development, some commands or arguments may conflict with each other.

2. Is this script safe?

• Answer: It is always a good practice to verify scripts before running them. Especially scripts handeling sensitive info such as PGP key pairs. I try my best to make the script as secure as possible.

  • I added SHA512 hashes in PreCalculated_SHA512/ folder in source/ folder

  • You can advise me about anything in the Issues

Usage/Examples

Remember, if you are running the script without installing, add ./ before the script (gqb-cli.sh) name.

• This will guide you step by step and configure default settings for you.
