Feature request: Support decrypting multiple files at a time

Author: patricknelsonCreated Sep 30, 2021Updated Aug 10, 2026

It would be awesome if sops supported decrypting multiple files at a time.

Use case: For example, say you have multiple encrypted Kubernetes secrets that you'd like to apply all at once, this could be streamlined as:

sops -d secrets/*.enc.yml | kubectl apply -f -

This would be much easier than having to manually specify each file individually, one at a time. This would also require that sops be able to concatenate each file using the --- document delimiter in the resulting YAML stream.
