Files are not being encrypted #91

Closed tjaskula closed 8 years ago

Hi,

I followed the documentation to install and configure git-crypt on Mac OS X El Capitan (10.11.6). Everything was installed correctly (through homebrew).

I want to encrypt a bunch of IPython notebooks, so I made the configuration in .gitattribues as follows:

.gitattributes !filter !diff
*.ipynb filter=git-crypt diff=git-crypt

my .git/config file is as follows:

[filter "git-crypt"]
    smudge = \"/usr/local/bin/git-crypt\" smudge
    clean = \"/usr/local/bin/git-crypt\" clean
    required = true
[diff "git-crypt"]
    textconv = \"/usr/local/bin/git-crypt\" diff

git-crypt status shows *.ipynb files as encrypted.

Then I commit those files when the encryption should happen.

After pushing it the remote the files are not encrypted.

Any hints on what's going on ?

After double checking it seems that it works from the command line but not from GitHub Desktop for Mac OS X.

Hmm well it looks like GitHub Desktop client ships with it's own Git command line client .. so the git-crypt you compiled in for your usual CLI tool wouldn't be available for it.

If you look at the package, you'll notice that it contains : ./Resources/git ./Resources/git/bin/git ./Resources/git/libexec/git-core/git

You could always try to replace them with symlinks towards your usual git but that seems a bit hacky and would likely break / be replaced on the next upgrade of the App.
