jak is a tool for encrypting files. jak works extra well if used in a git repository.
Warning
jaks encryption works. But use is under your own responsibility. I would highly recommend you take the auto-commit hook on a dry run before actually relying on it.
shell
pip install jak
shell
cd ~/folderThatMayOrMayNotBeARepo jak start
edit jakfile # add which files you want to have be encrypted.
jak encrypt all
# All files listen in the jakfile should now be encrypted.
We also made this video that might be helpful for running through a basic setup in a git repository.
Dispel is the main steward of jaks development. But all contributions are encouraged and welcome. Please read the contribution guide <contributor> for more information on contributing.
