Comment gnupg+vim (Score 1) 402

We use gnupg+vim to share passwords and other secrets among my team. http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=661

To create a new encrypted secrets file, 'vim secrets.gpg'. Vim prompts you to specify recipients from your gpg keyring. Then vim opens a buffer; you write your secrets in the world's greatest text editor.* On write or close, vim prompts for your passphrase and encrypts the file to the recipient keys you specified, saving it as ascii-armored gpg.

Open an existing file with a .gpg extension, and vim prompts for your passphrase, decrypts the file, and opens it in a new buffer. On write or close, it re-encrypts the file to its configured recipients.

For easy sharing and revisioning, we keep these gpg files in a mercurial repository. This gives us a distributed, free, scalable, and reasonably secure solution.

*There's a similar gnupg plugin for emacs, if you're of that heretical religion.
