git-crypt, written by Andrew Ayer, uses a transparent method to encrypt and decrypt data in a git repository. Encryption is performed when you commit a file, and de-encryption is done when you check out the file. With git-crypt, you can freely share files, mainly private files. git-crypt beautifully degrades, allowing developers without the secret key to clone and commit to an encrypted repository. git-crypt will enable you to keep your confidential information (such as keys or passwords) in the same repository as your code without locking down the entire repository. Git-crypt is supported in the following operating systems:

  • Windows 64bit
  • OS X 10.9/10.10
  • Linux x86 64bit

Make sure you have Homebrew installed on your macOS to install git-crypt. If Homebrew is not installed on your device then go to How to install homebrew.

Steps to Install Git-Crypt on MacOS

Step 1: Open the terminal on your macOS.

Step 2: Type the command "brew install git-crypt" in your mac terminal and enter.

brew install git-crypt

brew-install
 

git-crypt is successfully installed on your macOS.

Verifying Installation of Git-Crypt

Step 1: Open the terminal in your macOS.

opening-mac-terminal
 

Step 2: Type the command "git-crypt --version" in your mac terminal and enter.

git-crypt --version

git-crypt-version
 

The output in the terminal will display the version of git-crypt installed on your device.
