## What is `git-secret`?
2018-04-17 03:43:57 +00:00
`git-secret` is a bash tool which stores private data inside a git repo.
`git-secret` encrypts tracked files with public keys for users whom you trust using `gpg`,
allowing permitted users to access encrypted data using their secret keys.
With `git-secret`, changes to access rights are made easy and private-public key issues are handled for you.
Passwords do not need to be changed with `git-secret` when someone's permission is revoked -
just remove their key from the keychain using `git secret killperson their@email.com`,
and re-encrypt the files, and they won't be able to decrypt secrets anymore.

### Requirements
`git-secret` relies on several external packages:
- `bash` since `3.2.57` (it is hard to tell the correct `patch` release)
- `gawk` since `4.0.2`
- `git` since `1.8.3.1`
- `gpg` since `gnupg 1.4` to `gnupg 2.X`
- `sha256sum` since `8.21` (on freebsd and OSX `shasum` is used instead)

### Security
In order to encrypt (git-secret hide -m) files only when modified, the path
mappings file tracks sha256sum checksums of the files added (git-secret add) to
git-secret's path mappings filesystem database. Although, the chances of
encountering a sha collision are low, it is recommend that you pad files with
random data for greater security. Or avoid using the `-m` option altogether.
If your secret file holds more data than just a single password these
precautions should not be necessary, but could be followed for greater
security.
