# gcrypt
Encrypted git repositories for privacy made easy
```sh
# Create a new remote encrypted repository
gcrypt init git@github.com:user/repo.git
# Encrypt repository already on GitHub
gcrypt encrypt git@github.com:user/repo.git
# Clone encrypted repository
gcrypt clone git@github.com:user/repo.git
```
## Requirements
```sh
apt install git-remote-gcrypt
```
## Install
```sh
npm i -g LuKks/gcrypt
```
## Description
Makes easy to work with fully encrypted git repositories.\
It uses [spwhitton/git-remote-gcrypt](https://github.com/spwhitton/git-remote-gcrypt), so check it out.\
The unique disadvantage that I noticed pushing is a bit slow but not big deal.\
Using your GPG key for encryption.
## Examples
#### Create a new encrypted repository
Create an empty repository on GitHub then:
```sh
gcrypt init git@github.com:user/repo.git
# or
gcrypt init git@github.com:user/repo.git ~/Desktop/my-encrypted-repo
```
#### Encrypt repository already on GitHub
```sh
gcrypt encrypt git@github.com:user/repo.git
```
Take caution, it will erase the entire repository (branches, tags, etc),\
just keeping a single commit/branch where would be all encrypted togheter.
#### Clone encrypted repository
```sh
gcrypt clone git@github.com:user/repo.git
# or
gcrypt clone git@github.com:user/repo.git ~/Desktop/my-encrypted-repo
```
## Notes
#### Multiple GPG keys
If you have multiple GPG keys, set which would be used for encryption.
Check your GPG keys list:
```sh
gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format LONG
```
And set it:
```sh
git config --global --add gcrypt.participants "A1234B1234C1234D"
```
