git-secret: Revoke access by email.

$ git secret killperson ${email}

try on your machine

The command git secret killperson ${email} is used in Git Secret, a tool for managing encrypted secrets within a Git repository.

In this command, ${email} is a placeholder for the email address of a person whose access to encrypted secrets should be revoked. By executing this command, you are instructing Git Secret to remove the encryption key associated with the specified email address.

Git Secret manages access to secrets by encrypting them using the public keys of individuals who are granted access. By revoking a person's access to encrypted secrets, you ensure that they can no longer decrypt or view those secrets.

It's worth noting that this command does not directly delete any person's Git commit history or access their Git repository. It only removes their ability to decrypt and access the encrypted secrets stored within that repository.
