transcrypt VS crypt-wiki

I was looking into secret storage in git recently and rather liked Transcrypt: https://github.com/elasticdog/transcrypt

On the actual system itself (you likely know this as you'd mentioned reading other posts, but) I have Neovim compiled on my phone (directly through Termux), notes pushed up to Github using transcrypt for backups and live-synced between several devices using syncthing (which is how I get notifications on my phone, using a Raspberry Pi and systemd services to implement against orgmode.nvim's notification API).

I use nvim-orgmode on my computer through Neovim, and keep that pushed up to Github (encrypted using transcrypt) but also have a Syncthing server setup on a Raspberry Pi.

Also if you want the notes to be encrypted and you push them to Github, try transcrypt. They won't be encrypted on disk, but will be when you push them.

Start writing all of your work down. I personally put almost every line of code I ever write into github. I have a "misc" project for random one-off things, but I always commit it to a repo. I started doing this in 2013/2014 and its been incredibly valuable to go back and refer to old work (its also fun to see how far you've come). This gets interesting when you start needing to write down information that shouldn't be public (e.g. api keys). You're into crypto, so you can probably see the fun in this. I've use a program called transcrypt to store encrypted files in my git repos. Be careful with transcrypt though, if you make a mistake you can accidentally publish secrets in plain text, and it does open you up to brute force attacks.

So I really appreciate taking notes with VimWiki and recently I have thought about version controlling them using GitHub or GitLab, but ⠀I have ran into a problem. I cannot store them in plain text as I do not trust these services with my data, not even in a private repo. So I started digging and trying to find solutions stumbling upon git-crypt and vim-gnupg, but had a hard time getting them to work on Windows, so I wrote my own, in the form of a python script that encrypts specific directories you specify from the VimWiki. This way you can keep both plain-text files and GPG encrypted files in the same repo and version control them.
