git cipher textconv

August 2, 2025 ยท View on GitHub

A Git "textconv" filter (see man gitattributes) that transforms encrypted blobs for display as plaintext by various Git tools. In practice, there is no need to call this directly. When the appropriate diff.git-cipher.textconv configuration is in effect, Git will call this command when appropriate.

Use git-cipher init to apply this and other necessary configuration items in a repository.
