Zephyrus CLI v1.0.0 - Initial Release 🎉

What is Zephyrus CLI?

Zephyrus CLI transforms your GitHub repository into a private, encrypted file vault. Store sensitive documents, backups, and confidential files with industry-standard AES-256-GCM encryption—all from your command line. No subscriptions. No proprietary infrastructure. No secrets to trust anyone with.

---

✨ Key Features in v1.0.0

🔐 End-to-End Encryption

• AES-256-GCM encryption with authenticated encryption
• PBKDF2-SHA256 key derivation (100,000 iterations) protects your vault password
• All encryption happens on your machine before uploading
• GitHub servers never see plaintext data

🔑 Per-File Encryption Keys

• Each file gets a unique, randomly-generated 32-byte encryption key
• Share individual files without exposing your entire vault
• Revoke access by re-uploading the file with a new key
• No need to share your vault password with anyone

💼 Complete File Management

• Upload files with automatic folder creation
• Download files with transparent decryption
• Delete files or entire folders recursively
• List vault contents with hierarchical organization
• Search vault with case-insensitive substring matching

🔄 Multiple Operation Modes

• Interactive Shell (REPL) — Multiple commands in one authenticated session
• Command-line Mode — Single commands without entering shell
• Stateless Mode (-u flag) — Authenticate per-command without persistent sessions

📤 Secure File Sharing

• Generate shareable tokens with share command
• Format: username:storage_id:decryption_key
• Recipients only get access to that specific file
• No need for third-party file sharing services

☁️ GitHub-Backed Storage

• Leverage GitHub's free tier for encrypted storage
• Full git history of all operations
• Atomic commits ensure consistency
• Shallow clones optimize bandwidth usage

💻 Cross-Platform

• Windows: Native executable (.exe)
• macOS: Compile from source
• Linux: Compile from source
• Same feature set across all platforms

🛡️ Security First

• No telemetry or tracking
• Source code fully auditable
• Standard cryptographic primitives (no proprietary algorithms)
• Zero-knowledge architecture (we can't access your data)
