git-crypt

2014-10-22 02:38:52.928362+02 by Dan Lyke 2 comments

I have a directory full of text files that include a few passwords. I'd love to toss this folder in a git repo, because I sometimes want to edit things elsewhere, and a backup is nice, but I also don't want to necessarily put those passwords in a version controlled repo on my fully exposed network hosts.

Looks like https://github.com/AGWA/git-crypt is the solution.

Nice! Thanks. Have same issues. That would be an elegant solution!

You might want to check out pass as well. Does basically the same thing but is specifically geared towards passwords.
