Manual Decryption
Encrypted content is stored in code blocks with language set to age. For example:
-----BEGIN AGE ENCRYPTED FILE-----

-----END AGE ENCRYPTED FILE-----
You can always save this to a file and decrypt your content using the age CLI tool:
# Install age CLI tool first
age -d secret.age
