GIT tips

Configure git to show diffs in encrypted files

It's possible to tell Git to decrypt versions of the file before running them through git diff or git log. To achieve this do:

• Add the following to .gitattributes at the top of the git repository:

*.gpg diff=blackbox

• Add the following to .git/config:

[diff "blackbox"]
    textconv = gpg --use-agent -q --batch --decrypt

Commands like git log -p file.gpg and git diff master -- will display as expected.
