Encrypted git repositories for privacy made easy
# Create a new remote encrypted repository
gcrypt init git@github.com:user/repo.git
# Encrypt repository already on GitHub
gcrypt encrypt git@github.com:user/repo.git
# Clone encrypted repository
gcrypt clone git@github.com:user/repo.git
apt install git-remote-gcrypt
npm i -g LuKks/gcrypt
Makes easy to work with fully encrypted git repositories.
It uses spwhitton/git-remote-gcrypt, so check it out.
The unique disadvantage that I noticed pushing is a bit slow but not big deal.
Using your GPG key for encryption.
Create an empty repository on GitHub then:
gcrypt init git@github.com:user/repo.git
# or
gcrypt init git@github.com:user/repo.git ~/Desktop/my-encrypted-repo
gcrypt encrypt git@github.com:user/repo.git
Take caution, it will erase the entire repository (branches, tags, etc),
just keeping a single commit/branch where would be all encrypted togheter.
gcrypt clone git@github.com:user/repo.git
# or
gcrypt clone git@github.com:user/repo.git ~/Desktop/my-encrypted-repo
If you have multiple GPG keys, set which would be used for encryption.
Check your GPG keys list:
gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format LONG
And set it:
git config --global --add gcrypt.participants "A1234B1234C1234D"
