NAME

       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,

       •   .gitignore is modified to ignore git-secret´s  random_seed_file,  and  to  not  ignore
           .secret files,

       •   a .gitsecret directory is created with the sub-directories /keys and /paths,

       •   The .gitsecret/keys subdirectory permission is set to 700 to make gnupg happy.

       See  git-secret(7)  https://git-secret.io/git-secret  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.
