question: is it possible to use a password to allow only committer who known it to decipher files ?

I understand that by default the password is "automatic" so all user with access to the repo will be able to see the ciphered files (un-ciphered)

Hi,

Only people with the password can decipher secret files. So in your case, you can keep the password to yourself and no-one else will be able to read the file contents unless they are using the same computer and directory.

The automatic decrypt feature only works once transcrypt is initialised – and the password entered – for each cloned repository.
