NAME

       git-secret-tell - adds a person, who can access private data.

SYNOPSIS

       git secret tell [-m] [-d dir] [emails]...

DESCRIPTION

       git-secret  tell  receives  one  or more email addresses as an input, searches for the gpg-key in the gpg
       homedir by these emails, then imports the corresponding public key into git-secret´s inner keychain. From
       this moment this person can encrypt new files with the keyring which contains their key, but they  cannot
       decrypt  the  old files, which were already encrypted without their key. The files should be re-encrypted
       with the new keyring by someone who has the unencrypted files.

       Because git-secret tell works with only email addresses, it will exit with an error if you have  multiple
       keys  in  your  keychain  with  specified  email  addresses, or if one of the specified emails is already
       associated with a key in the git-secret keychain.

       Versions of git-secret tell after 0.3.2 will warn about keys that  are  expired,  revoked,  or  otherwise
       invalid, and also if multiple keys are found for a single email address.

       Do not manually import secret keys into git-secret. It won´t work with imported secret keys anyway.

OPTIONS

       -m  - takes your current `git config user.email` as an identifier for the key.
       -d  - specifies `--homedir` option for the `gpg`, basically use this option if your store your keys in a custom location.
       -h  - shows help.

MANUAL
