### I want to add someone to the repository
1. Get his `gpg` public-key. **You won't need their secret key.**
2. Import this key inside your `gpg` by running `gpg --import KEY_NAME`
3. Now add this person to the `git-secret` by running `git secret tell persons@email.id`

Note, that it is possible to add yourself to the system without decrypting existing files. It will be possible to decrypt them after reencrypting them with the new keyring. So, if you don't want unexpected keys added, make sure to configure some server-side security policy with the `pre-receive` hook.
## Configuration
You can configure several things to suit your workflow better. To do so, just set the required variable to the value you need. This can be done in your shell environment file or with the each `git-secret` command.
These settings are available to be changed:
* `$SECRETS_GPG_COMMAND` - sets the `gpg` alternatives, defaults to `gpg`. It can be changed to `gpg`, `gpg2`, `pgp`, `/usr/local/gpg` or any other value. After doing so rerun tests to be sure, that it won't break anything. Tested to be working with: `gpg`, `gpg2`.
* `$SECRETS_GPG_COMMAND` - sets the `gpg` alternatives, defaults to `gpg`. It can be changed to `gpg`, `gpg2`, `pgp`, `/usr/local/gpg` or any other value. After doing so rerun the tests to be sure, that it won't break anything. Tested to be working with: `gpg`, `gpg2`.
* `$SECRETS_EXTENSION` - sets the secret files extension, defaults to `.secret`. It can be changed to any valid file extension.
## Internals
### `.gitsecret` folder
This folder contains every piece of information about the project. It stores:
* public keys for the project
* path mappings. Or in other words: what files are tracked to be hidden and revealed
This folder should not be ignored. In case it is application would not work raising an error: `'.gitsecret/' is ignored. abort.'`. However, it is possible to ignore [individual files](https://github.com/sobolevn/git-secret/issues/93) inside it: `random_seed` would be the most popular example.
