Comparison to git-crypt

Open t3hmrman opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

It would be nice if the documentation would how sheesy differentiates itself from a git-crypt.

So far as I can see currently:

  • No integration with git
  • No support for simple AES key encryption

Maybe it doesn't make sense to compare sheesy to a tool like git-crypt in the first place, since the scopes are somewhat different, if so I apologize! I think that sheezy could be super useful for storing secrets right in git repos so that's one way I really want to use it.

P.S. I just saw the talk @ RustCologne -- cool project!

Indeed, and I agree that it would be nice to have. The reason it's not there yet is that I have never even looked at the tool. From what I see, the bullet points provided here seem accurate, maybe there is more.

With the hopes of you getting more familiar with sheesy, maybe you would be able to deliver a comparison at some point.

I would love to contribute documentation on it! As soon as I find a free weekend I'll send a PR! :)

[EDIT] - Oh one thing, just for the future -- are you open to allowing simple AES keys rather than just PGP? It's cool if you're not but just figured I might ask

[EDIT2] - Ah, looking at lib/vault/src/recipients/add.rs it looks like GPG is pretty "in there", so to speak. Again I don't think it's a huge differentiator (one could easily just create a throwaway GPG keys), so that's fine
