git-crypt action - transparent file encryption for GitHub Actions

git-crypt-action speeds up and simplifies using git-crypt inside your GitHub Action workflows by downloading a pre-built docker image and unlocking your repository. This has the benefit of being faster than having to apt-get install git-crypt. It also takes care of re-locking the repository before finishing your workflow.

To use this workflow, export your key and encode it with base64, then register it as a GitHub Secret.

❯ git-crypt export-key -- - | base64

Finally, use it in your workflow.
