The git secret reveal
command is used in Git with the Git Secret extension to reveal encrypted files that are stored within a Git repository.
When you encrypt files using Git Secret and add them to the repository, they are stored in an encrypted format, protecting sensitive information such as passwords, API keys, or any other confidential data. The git secret reveal
command decrypts these files, making the contents accessible again.
To use this command, you need to have Git Secret installed and initialized in your repository. Once you've encrypted files using the git secret add
command and committed them, you can then use git secret reveal
to decrypt and reveal the contents of those files.
It's worth noting that revealing the encrypted files requires you to have the necessary decryption keys or access permissions. Without these, you won't be able to successfully decrypt the files and view their contents.
