+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.
