GIT-SECRET-KILLPERSON(1)

📦 version 0.4.0, in ubuntu jammy

💅 GIT-SECRET-KILLPERSON(1) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for git-secret-killperson — part of the git-secret family, version 0.4.0. this is the one where you get to say goodbye to somebody's key and mean it. let's get into it 💖

✨ NAME ✨

git-secret-killperson — deletes the key identified by an email from the inner keyring. yeah. that's the whole vibe. it's giving "you're off the group chat" but for cryptography 🔥

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

git secret killperson <emails>...

note the <emails>... — plural, babes. you can absolutely name more than one person in one go, the ... is not decorative 💀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea 🍓: this command removes the keys associated with the selected email addresses from the keyring. poof. gone. the keyring is the inner keyring, iykyk.

and now the part you need to actually pay attention to, because it's a real one:

if you remove a keypair's access with git-secret-killperson, and then you run git-secret-reveal and git-secret-hide -r, it will be impossible for those given users to decrypt the hidden files. like, forever. no take-backs. 😭

so yeah, that's not a soft launch, that's a full send. be sure before you commit to it, bestie 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h — shows this help. that's it. that's the entire option list. short and iconic, honestly 👑

👑 MANUAL 👑

want to see this exact note again, in your terminal, whenever you want? run:

man git-secret-killperson

and it'll pop right back up like it never left 🫶
