Dotty private edit

dotty private edit¶

Edit an encrypted entry in place.

Synopsis¶

Decrypt one entry to a 0600 scratch file inside the private data area (never a shared temp directory), open it in \(VISUAL/\)EDITOR, and encrypt the result back to the profile's recipients. Unchanged content is left alone — age output is not deterministic, so re-encrypting an identical file would only manufacture a spurious diff. A plaintext (unencrypted) entry opens directly in the repository.

dotty private edit <path> [flags]

Examples¶

  dotty private edit .config/private/git/config
  dotty private edit ~/.ssh/config.d/personal.conf

Options¶

  -h, --help   help for edit

Options inherited from parent commands¶

      --profile string   profile to operate on (defaults to the active profile)
      --repo string      private repository (default: the active profile's stored answer)
