Description
I would like to add a value (that will be encrypted) to an encrypted file without the need of the private key.
I probably have a very naive understanding of SOPS but since the file is not encrypted and only the values are, I thought it would be easy for SOPS to detect which values are not encrypted and encrypt them without the need of decrypting anything.
Someone else had the same question and explained it better here.
