age-keygen -pq -o ~/age-260801.key
# chmod 600 age-260801.key already included
age-keygen -y ~/age-260801.key > ~/age-260801.pub

Encrypt

# tar.gz
tar czf - mydir | age -R ~/age-260801.pub -o mydir.tar.gz.age-260801
# tar.xz
tar cf - mydir | xz -9e | age -R ~/age-260801.pub -o mydir.tar.xz.age-260801

Decrypt

# tar.gz
age -d -i ~/age-260801.key mydir.tar.gz.age-260801 | tar xzf -
# tar.xz
age -d -i ~/age-260801.key mydir.tar.xz.age-260801 | xz -d | tar xf -

Shell Functions for reuse

age_pack()   { tar cf - "$1" | xz -9e | age -R ~/age-260801.pub -o "${1%/}.tar.xz.age-260801"; }
age_unpack() { age -d -i ~/age-260801.key "$1" | xz -d | tar xf -; }
