How to keep track of changes to files meant to be encrypted?

[paxperscientiam]

Hello! I've been an avid user of yadm for a few years at this point, though I still wouldn't consider myself an advanced user.

One thing I struggle with, and this isn't a per se yadm issue, is how to keep track of changes to files targeted for encryption by yadm.

As I understand it, the files I list in "~/.config/yadm/encrypt" should not be git tracked, which makes sense.

My practice is to try to run yadm encrypt each time I make a change to file matching the patterns in my "encrypt" file. That said, I remain concerned as there appears to be no way to know (other than my own memory) to track whether I've made changes to my ~/.ssh/config file as it goes untracked.

Questions:

1. Am I missing some yadm feature or practice would address the above?
2. In either case, does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

If I understand correctly I think you're asking for #386. So no, there's currently no way to do what you're asking for. But I will start thinking about the issue and see if I can come up with something.

I started using the transcrypt support and it might be what you're looking for?
