Building A Debian Package
Debian packaging can be found in the 'debian' branch of the project Git repository. The package is built using git-buildpackage as follows:

git-buildpackage -uc -us
Installing On Mac OS X
Using the brew package manager, simply run:
brew install git-crypt
Experimental Windows Support
git-crypt should build on Windows with MinGW, although the build system is not yet finalized so you will need to pass your own CXX, CXXFLAGS, and LDFLAGS variables to make. Additionally, Windows support is less tested and does not currently create key files with restrictive permissions, making it unsuitable for use on a multi-user system. Windows support will mature in a future version of git-crypt. Bug reports and patches are most welcome!
