Document how to remove git-crypt from a repo #132

Open erichiggins opened 7 years ago

erichiggins commented 7 years ago

I'm having an issue where git-crypt is failing to unlock in my CI/CD pipeline.

git-crypt: error: encrypted file has been tampered with!
error: external filter "git-crypt" smudge failed 1
error: external filter "git-crypt" smudge failed
fatal: functions/.runtimeconfig.json: smudge filter git-crypt failed
Error: 'git checkout' failed
git-crypt has been set up but existing encrypted files have not been decrypted

I've tried removing all encrypted files, as well as .gitattributes, committing those changes, then starting over. That hasn't worked. However, there doesn't seem to be a documented procedure for truly "starting over" in a given repo. In scenarios like this, there's not much debugging that the end user can do themselves.

Having documentation, or a built-in command to remove git-crypt from a given repo, would go a long way towards giving developers the tools they need to fix this issue rather than filing tickets for the maintainers to resolve.

something wrong with functions/.runtimeconfig.json file. try to remove it and corresponde .gitattributes, commit and then start again

@erichiggins using the method outlined here to resolve this worked for me: https://github.com/AGWA/git-crypt/issues/78#issuecomment-278071567
