1. I have a GPG keypair in the same format as the one provided in `test-key.asc`. It is `ed25519`.
2. That key was used to encrypt a file with [age encryption](https://github.com/FiloSottile/age) as shown below
3. I want to decrypt that file, but only have a GPG secret key, as I couldn't
find out how to derive a SSH or age key from it.
**GOAL**: Derive an age key from the provided GPG key that decrypt the file as
shown below. A SSH key is also enough, since it can be used with `ssh-to-age` to
derive the age key.
##### Notes:
- A tool exists to do this for RSA keys: [openpgp2ssh](https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man1/openpgp2ssh.1.html) but it does not seem to support `ed25519` keys
- Work on `gnupg` was started for this feature, but never finished see this
issue and commit: https://dev.gnupg.org/T6647

Example key provided in `test-key.asc` to be imported. Use `--homedir` with
`gpg` to set a temporary `.gnupg` directory
```sh
gpg --homedir ./gnupg --import test-key.asc impure ❄ ssh-to-age age

### Get secret age key
2024-03-25 17:22:47 +01:00
2024-03-26 14:48:45 +01:00
```sh

### Try to decrypt
2024-03-25 17:22:47 +01:00
```sh
age --decrypt --identity age-secret-key --output decrypted testfile.txt.age impure ❄ ssh-to-age age
age: error: no identity matched any of the recipients
age: report unexpected or unhelpful errors at https://filippo.io/age/report
