## Usage
## Usage: Setting up git-secret in a repository
These steps cover the basic process of using `git-secret`:
0. Before starting, make sure you have created `gpg` RSA key-pair: public and secret key identified by your email address.
1. Begin with an existing or new git repository. You'll use the 'git secret' commands to add the keyrings and information
to make the git-secret hide and reveal files in this repository.
2. Initialize the `git-secret` repository by running `git secret init` command. the `.gitsecret/` folder will be created,
**Note** all the contents of the `.gitsecret/` folder should be checked in, /except/ the `random_seed` file.
In other words, of the files in .gitsecret, only the random_seed file should be mentioned in your .gitignore file.
3. Add the first user to the git-secret repo keyring by running `git secret tell your@gpg.email`.
4. Now it's time to add files you wish to encrypt inside the `git-secret` repository.
It can be done by running `git secret add <filenames...>` command. Make sure these files are ignored by mentions in
.gitignore, otherwise `git-secret` won't allow you to add them, as these files could be stored unencrypted.
5. When done, run `git secret hide` to encrypt all files which you have added by the `git secret add` command.
The data will be encrypted with the public-keys described by the `git secret tell` command.
After using `git secret hide` to encrypt your data, it is safe to commit your changes.
**NOTE:**. It's recommended to add `git secret hide` command to your `pre-commit` hook, so you won't miss any changes.
6. Later you can decrypt files with the `git secret reveal` command, or just show their contents to stdout with the
`git secret cat` command. If you used a password on your GPG key (always recommended), it will ask you for your password.
And you're done!
### I want to add someone to the repository
### Usage: Adding someone to a repository using git-secret
1. Get their `gpg` public-key. **You won't need their secret key.**
2. Import this key into your `gpg` setup (in ~/.gnupg or similar) by running `gpg --import KEY_NAME.txt`
3. Now add this person to your secrets repo by running `git secret tell persons@email.id`
(this will be the email address assocated with the public key)
4. The newly added user cannot yet read the encrypted files. Now, re-encrypt the files using
`git secret reveal; git secret hide -d`, and then commit and push the newly encrypted files.
(The -d options deletes the unencrypted file after re-encrypting it).
