Encrypting

2. Open a command line interface, like terminal, bash, cmd etc. And change to the file’s directory
3. Use gpg --encrypt -r "Public_Key's_EMAIL_HERE" "FILE_NAME"
4. The result will be a .gpg file, send the .gpg file to reciever, and you are done!
Decrypting
1. Save the .gpg file you recieved to your locals
3. Use gpg "file_name_with_.gpg"
4. Open the newly created file, and read the secret message!
