git-secret-add - starts to track added files.
=============================================
## SYNOPSIS
git secret add [-v] [-i] <pathspec>...
## DESCRIPTION
`git-secret-add` adds a filepath(s) into `.gitsecret/paths/mapping.cfg`
and ensures the filepath is mentioned .gitignore.
When adding files to encrypt, `git-secret-add` (as of 0.2.6) will ensure that they are ignored by `git` by mentioning
them in .gitignore, since they must be secure and not be committed into the remote repository unencrypted.
If there's no users in the `git-secret`'s keyring, when adding a file, an exception will be raised.
Use the `git secret add` command to add filenames to this file.
It is not recommended to add filenames directly into `.gitsecret/paths/mapping.cfg`.
(See [git-secret(7)](http://git-secret.io/git-secret) for information about renaming the .gitsecret
folder using the SECRETS_DIR environment variable.
## OPTIONS
-v - verbose, shows extra information.
-i - does nothing, adding paths to .gitignore is now the default behavior.
-h - shows this help.
## MANUAL
Run `man git-secret-add` to see this note.
