git-secret-hide - encrypts all added files with the inner keyring.
|
|
|
|
|
==================================================================

## SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
git secret hide [-c] [-F] [-P] [-v] [-d] [-m]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
`git-secret-hide` creates an encrypted version (typically called `filename.txt.secret`)
|
|
|
|
|
of each file added by `git-secret-add` command.
|
|
|
|
|
Now anyone enabled via 'git secret tell' can can decrypt these files. Under the hood,
|
|
|
|
|
`git-secret` uses the keyring in `.gitsecret/keys` and user's secret keys to decrypt the files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is recommended to encrypt (or re-encrypt) all the files in a git-secret repo each
|
|
|
|
|
time `git secret hide` is run.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Otherwise the keychain (the one stored in `.gitsecret/keys/*.gpg`),
|
|
|
|
|
may have changed since the last time the files were encrypted, and it's possible
|
|
|
|
|
to create a state where the users in the output of `git secret whoknows`
|
|
|
|
|
may not be able to decrypt the some files in the repo, or may be able decrypt files
|
|
|
|
|
they're not supposed to be able to.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In other words, unless you re-encrypt all the files in a repo each time you 'hide' any,
|
|
|
|
|
it's possible to make it so some files can no longer be decrypted by users who should be
|
|
|
|
|
(and would appear) able to decrypt them, and vice-versa.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you know what you are doing and wish to encrypt or re-encrypt only a subset of the files
|
|
|
|
|
even after reading the above paragraphs, you can use the -F option to force `git secret hide`
|
|
|
|
|
to skip any hidden files where the unencrypted versions aren't present.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also, it is possible to modify the names of the encrypted files by setting `SECRETS_EXTENSION` variable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(See [git-secret(7)](http://git-secret.io/git-secret) for information about renaming the .gitsecret
|
|
|
|
|
folder using the SECRETS_DIR environment variable.
