git-secret-init - initializes git-secret repository.
SYNOPSIS
git secret init
DESCRIPTION
git-secret-init - initializes a git-secret repo by setting up a .gitsecret directory.
git-secret-init should be run inside a git repo, to create the
.gitsecret directory and initialize the repo for git-secret.
Until a repository is initialized with git secret init, all other git-secret commands are unavailable.
If a .gitsecret directory already exists, git-secret-init exits without making any changes.
Otherwise,
-
.gitignoreis modified to ignoregit-secret'srandom_seed_file, and to not ignore.secretfiles, -
a .gitsecret directory is created with the sub-directories /keys and /paths,
-
The
.gitsecret/keyssubdirectory permission is set to 700 to make gnupg happy.
See git-secret(7) for information about renaming the .gitsecret
folder with the SECRETS_DIR environment variable, and changing the extension git-secret uses for secret files
with the SECRETS_EXTENSION environment variable.
