Add a GPG KeyOnce we have git-secret installed, we need to add a gpg keypair to encrypt our data. If you do not have a, one must be created.

GnuPG allows to encrypt and sign your data and communication, features a versatile key management system as well as access modules for all kinds of public key directories. Both Thunderbird Portable and SeaMonkey Portable will utilize GPG Plugin Portable automatically from the CommonFiles directory. It can also be installed directly to ThunderbirdPortable App gpg.

To accomplish this, we use the gpg command: gpg -full-generate-keyIn order to create your keys, you will need to answer a few questions about who you are, what email address you would like to use, and a passphrase. GPG then collects random seed data and finishes by outputting a key pair, one public, one private.

Once this is complete, we can move on to the next step of incorporating git-secret. This step is useful for allowing other devs that are working on a project with you to encrypt and decrypt the files in your repo. Once their key is entered, we can add them to the secrets repository using the command: git-secret tell user@domain.comThis entry will associate the user’s email with the recently imported gpg key.

Once this has been completed, those devs now have access to the data in the repo. Then, they will be able to work with the files using their gpg key passphrase, which will encrypt and decrypt the files.

I was able to recreate your problem and It appears you've encountered an incompatibility between recent versions of. The current version of GPG4Win is 2.1.0, which combined with Cryptophane 0.7.0 (the last update was in 2009) yields the exact issues you've encountered. I tried to install GPG4Win 2.0.0, on the GPG4Win website, but that didn't work.The only solution I found was to install Cryptophane from the package. As the title suggests, this package includes an older version of GPG than is available through the GPG4Win website. Once installed, I was able to load my test key files and use Cryptophane as normal.Installing Cryptophane 0.7.0 beta + GnuPG 1.4.2:. Close any GPG related programs like Claws, Kleopatra.

Actually, just close everything. Launch the installer, overwriting any previously installed version of Cryptophane. Close Cryptophane if it opens automatically after the install.

Update the configuration file, cryptophane.ini in the install path:. Comment out the gpg-path configuration option which may have been set by a previous install. Make sure the homedir configuration option is commented or points to the folder containing your.gpg files (your key files). If this option is commented out, the default path is%appdatagnupg.

Save your changes to the cryptophane.ini file and launch Cryptophane - you should be good to go!Hope this helps,Matt.
