Version 0.2.2 pre-release
There are a lot of changes, multiple things were refactored: tests,
some commands, building and meta.
Several critical bugs fixed.
Changes:
1. Fixed #74, when `_user_required` was not working after reimporting keys
2. Closes #73, now it is possible to provide multiple emails to the `killperson` command
3. Closes #72, now it is possible to provide multiple emails to the `tell` command
4. Closes #71, now every doc in this project refer to `git-secret.io` instead of old `gh-pages` website
5. Closes #70, now installation section is removed from main `man` file
6. Closes #69, now "See also" section in the `man`s are clickable
7. Closes #61, added "Manual" section to the manuals
8. Refs #38, added `centos` Dockerfile, but `ci` testing is still failing
9. Refs #52, tests are refactored. Added `clean` command tests, removed a lot of hardcoded things, moved tests execution from `./temp` folder to `/tmp`, added a lot of new check in old tests, and some new test cases
10. Refactored `hide` and `clean` commands to be shorter
11. `shellcheck` is now supported with `make lint`
Additional features are not comming to 0.2.2 after this commit.

## 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.
2019-03-05 12:09:27 +00:00
`git-secret` encrypts files with permitted users' public keys,
allowing users you trust to access encrypted data using pgp and their secret keys.
With `git-secret` , changes to access rights are simplified, and private-public key issues are handled for you.
When someone's permission is revoked, secrets do not need to be changed with `git-secret` -
2018-04-17 03:43:57 +00:00
just remove their key from the keychain using `git secret killperson their@email.com` ,
2019-03-05 12:09:27 +00:00
re-encrypt the files, and they won't be able to decrypt secrets anymore.
If you think the user might have copied the contents of the keys when they had access, then
you should also change the secrets.

### Requirements
`git-secret` relies on several external packages:
- `bash` since `3.2.57` (it is hard to tell the correct `patch` release)
2017-11-28 05:35:16 +00:00
- `gawk` since `4.0.2`
- `git` since `1.8.3.1`
- `gpg` since `gnupg 1.4` to `gnupg 2.X`
2019-03-05 12:09:27 +00:00
- `sha256sum` since `8.21` (on freebsd and MacOS `shasum` is used instead)

### Security
2017-11-28 05:57:11 +00:00
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.
2018-10-27 06:53:16 +00:00
If you found any security related issues, please do not disclose it in public. Send an email to `security@wemake.services`

## Packagers
Thanks also to all the people and groups who package git-secret to be easier to install on particular OSes or distributions!
Here are some packagings of git-secret that we're aware of:
- https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/edge/testing/x86/git-secret
- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/git-secret/
- https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/git-secret
- https://packages.debian.org/sid/git-secret
Such packages are considered 'downstream' because the git-secret code 'flows' from the git-secret repository
to the various rpm/deb/dpkg/etc packages that are created for specific OSes and distributions.
We have also added notes specifically for packagers in [CONTRIBUTING.md ](CONTRIBUTING.md ).
