What Git Crypt Guard Does

Keep track of git-crypt protection directly in your IDE, without unlocking the repository.

  • Automatic inspection on project open and repository changes.
  • Lock badges in editor tabs, Project view and standard IDE file presentations.
  • A responsive repository dashboard with actionable findings for plaintext files, Git index risks, local key stores and configured content commands.
  • Inspected protected targets open in dedicated file cards, preserving existing unsaved editor changes. Decrypted working files use the standard editor with an exposure notice.
  • On local macOS IDEs, explicitly view supported encrypted text in a separate authenticated native window, while leaving the working file encrypted.

Repository inspection does not read keys or decrypt contents. Native viewing requires your consent and macOS authentication. It supports read-only text up to 64 KiB with basic Latin and Cyrillic glyphs.

Remote Development supports repository inspection and protected file cards; native secret viewing is available only in a local macOS IDE. Header observations do not authenticate encryption or provide a comprehensive security guarantee. OS/framework persistence and deliberate access by another process with your user permissions are outside the protection guarantee.
