Is it possible to automatically encrypt files via 'git push' before transferring to a remote repository? And automatically decode them while 'git pull'.
I.e, if I have some remote server with shared access with git repository there, and I don't want to our project was stolen without a permission... Maybe there is some special git-hooks before push and after pull?
If arbitrary people have local access to the server or filesystem, your cleanest and easiest bet for security would be to use a different hosting environment. If your code is so valuable, you can afford hosting the repository yourself or paying for private hosting.
If you're trying to use an open-source repository hosting site for free, but securely (by encrypting your code), you're probably breaking their terms of service.
Yes and no.
You could try to depend on hook but that suppose they are installed at the remote locations, and that is not always reliable.
Another way to achieve almost the same effet would be by using a smudge/clean attribute filter driver
That way the smudge script is able decode the files, while the clean script would encode them.
Off course, those scripts would not be in the repository itself, and would be managed/communicated by another way.
