10
12 git-secret-init - initializes a git-secret repo by setting up a .gitse‐
13 cret directory.
14
15 git-secret-init should be run inside a git repo, to create the .gitse‐
16 cret directory and initialize the repo for git-secret. Until a reposi‐
17 tory is initialized with git secret init, all other git-secret commands
18 are unavailable.
19
20 If a .gitsecret directory already exists, git-secret-init exits without
21 making any changes. Otherwise,
22
23 • .gitignore is modified to ignore git-secret´s random_seed_file, and
24 to not ignore .secret files,
25
26 • a .gitsecret directory is created with the sub-directories /keys
27 and /paths,
28
29 • The .gitsecret/keys subdirectory permission is set to 700 to make
30 gnupg happy.

34 See git-secret(7) https://git-secret.io/git-secret for information
35 about renaming the .gitsecret folder with the SECRETS_DIR environment
36 variable, and changing the extension git-secret uses for secret files
37 with the SECRETS_EXTENSION environment variable.
