Since older versions of Git have to spawn a separate check-attr process for every file in the repository, which is slow.

|
To use git-crypt, you need:
|
|
|
|
| Debian/Ubuntu package | RHEL/CentOS package
|
|
---------------------------|-----------------------|------------------------

### Building git-crypt
|
|
|
|
Run:
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
To install to a specific location:
|
|
|
|
make install PREFIX=/usr/local
|
|
|
|
Or, just copy the git-crypt binary to wherever is most convenient for you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 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 checkout debian
|
|
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!
