homegit

Thanks to:

• This tutorial from Atlassian
• that originated from this HackerNews thread by StreakyCobra
• that brought me to an older article about the same technique

Aliases

Personal alias:

alias homegit='GIT_DIR=$HOME/.homegit/ GIT_WORK_TREE=$HOME git'

To be used in scripts using shellcheck SC2262:

homegit() { GIT_DIR=$HOME/.homegit/ GIT_WORK_TREE=$HOME git "$@"; }

git-crypt

$ brew install git-crypt
$ cd $HOME/.homegit
$ git-crypt init
Generating key...
$ GIT_DIR=$HOME/.homegit/ GIT_WORK_TREE=$HOME git-crypt add-gpg-user 0xA0A378A5

$ echo 'npmrc filter=git-crypt diff=git-crypt' > ~/.gitattributes
$ cd
$ config add .npmrc
$ config commit -m 'Add .npmrc (encrypted)'

gpg

$ brew install gpg

You can copy the private key from 1Password and import it:

pbpaste | gpg --import

Now you can run (it will ask for the passphrase):

homegit crypt unlock
