- curious to know if anyone has had any luck with encrypted Dendron git repos?
- I managed to get this working with Keybase encrypted git (but I don't really trust Keybase now since their Zoom merger)
- has anyone managed to do something similar?
- apparently there is a way to do it with https://github.com/spwhitton/git-remote-gcrypt, am using the guide from https://caolan.uk/articles/encrypted-git-repositories/ (bit old, written in 2017)
-* has anyone manged to do end-to-end encrypted Dendron git repos?*

1. you can do this easily with Keybase encrypted git
2. have managed to do this with git-remote-gcrypt to GitLab (so far push is working only)

> git-remote-gcrypt seems like a bad choice because unless I misunderstood it, it can force push everything (merged into a single remote commit) each time. This makes it completely unscalable for pushes. Also, there is no support available, no maintained binary, and no place for users to discuss various issues. –

1. Keybase is probably ur best bet for real git encryption
2. I've settled on using Cryptomator within pCloud
3. its possible to use Cryptomator within Git repo and you end up with files looking like:
