If one wants to encrypt/decrypt data, they would better use a well-developed solution like GnuPG.  When cryptographic software isn't written by experts, it tends to have major vulnerabilities.  For instance, the first glance at this program reveals that the password is only supplied via the command line, in other words, other users on the same computer can see it unless those who run the program take extra steps to protect it; then, the used encryption method implies that e.g. those who know a part of the message longer than the password can easily decrypt the whole message.

This program can be useful in bash scripts for encrypting/decrypting something.
For example you want to send a lot of files via netcat (nc) to public server and protect them.

Savannah doesn't provide "just git repositories," repositories only come with groups in Savannah.  And sincerely speaking, I can't think of real cases where this program could be useful.

Can Savannah provide me git repository for develop this short project? I want to add this project in GNU system... It's really short program, but it's needed.

Your package is basically a short single file.  We discourage simplistic packages on Savannah.  They can be hosted on a single web page and needn't a full-fledged Savannah group.
