Git Crypt Unlock

This action allows you to decrypt files that were encrypted by git-crypt. MacOS, Ubuntu/Linux and Windows are supported.

Usage

1. Setup

Setup your repository accordingly to git-crypt so you can encrypt your secret files.

2. Base64 Key

Export your key and encoded it in base64.

git-crypt export-key ./tmp-key && cat ./tmp-key | base64 > super-secret-key-in-base64.txt

Use whatever file name you want but remember it. Open the file and copy it's content and past it in a secret variable in your target repository.
