NAME

       git-secret-hide - encrypts all added files with the inner keyring.

SYNOPSIS

       git secret hide [-c] [-F] [-P] [-v] [-d] [-m]

DESCRIPTION

       git-secret-hide  creates  an  encrypted  version (typically called filename.txt.secret) of
       each file added by git-secret-add command. Now anyone enabled via ´git  secret  tell´  can
       can  decrypt  these  files. Under the hood, git-secret uses the keyring in .gitsecret/keys
       and user´s secret keys to decrypt the files.

       It is recommended to encrypt (or re-encrypt) all the files in a git-secret repo each  time
       git secret hide is run.

       Otherwise  the  keychain (the one stored in .gitsecret/keys/*.gpg), may have changed since
       the last time the files were encrypted, and it´s possible to  create  a  state  where  the
       users  in  the  output of git secret whoknows may not be able to decrypt the some files in
       the repo, or may be able decrypt files they´re not supposed to be able to.

       In other words, unless you re-encrypt all the files in a repo each time  you  ´hide´  any,
       it´s  possible  to make it so some files can no longer be decrypted by users who should be
       (and would appear) able to decrypt them, and vice-versa.

       If you know what you are doing and wish to encrypt or re-encrypt  only  a  subset  of  the
       files  even  after  reading  the above paragraphs, you can use the -F or -m option to only
       encrypted a subset of files. The -F option forces git secret hide to skip any hidden files
       where  the  unencrypted versions aren´t present. The -m option skips any hidden files that
       have not be modified since the last time they were encrypted.

       Also,  it  is  possible  to  modify  the  names  of  the  encrypted   files   by   setting
       SECRETS_EXTENSION variable.

       (See  git-secret(7)  http://git-secret.io/git-secret  for  information  about renaming the
       .gitsecret folder using the SECRETS_DIR environment variable.

       You  can  also  enable  verbosity  using  the  SECRETS_VERBOSE  environment  variable,  as
       documented at git-secret(7) http://git-secret.io/

OPTIONS

       -v  - verbose, shows extra information.
       -c  - deletes encrypted files before creating new ones.
       -F  - forces hide to continue if a file to encrypt is missing.
       -P  - preserve permissions of unencrypted file in encrypted file.
       -d  - deletes unencrypted files after encryption.
       -m  - encrypt files only when modified.
       -h  - shows help.
