git-secret: Register a secret file.
$ git secret add ${filename}
try on your machine

The command git secret add ${filename} is used to add a specific file to the list of encrypted files managed by git-secret. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • git secret: It refers to the git-secret tool, which is a tool for encrypted file storage in a Git repository.
  • add: This is a subcommand of git secret used to add a file to the encrypted list.
  • ${filename}: This is a placeholder representing the actual name of the file you want to add to the encrypted list. You need to replace ${filename} with the actual filename (e.g., file.txt) when executing the command.

When you run this command, git-secret will encrypt the specified file and store it in a secure manner within your Git repository.
