+git-crypt - transparent file encryption in git
+
+git-crypt enables transparent encryption and decryption of files in a
+git repository. Files which you choose to protect are encrypted when
+committed, and decrypted when checked out. git-crypt lets you freely
+share a repository containing a mix of public and private content.
+git-crypt gracefully degrades, so developers without the secret key
+can still clone and commit to a repository with encrypted files. This
+lets you store your secret material (such as keys or passwords) in the
+same repository as your code, without requiring you to lock down your
+entire repository.
