Doc request: Explain where keys are stored

Open yogiben opened this issue 10 years ago • 2 comments

First time using, I saw Generating key...

Where is this key stored?

It's stored in the .git-crypt directory inside your repository. You can export it with export-key, as explained in the documentation.

AFAICT it's actually in the .git/git-crypt directory
