BlackBox

A tool for secure collaboration in version control systems.

Usage

• Run blackbox_postdeploy from the root directory of your repository.
• Use GPG=gpg2 blackbox_ postdeploy if you're using gpg2 alongside system gpg.

Subversion gotchas

• BlackBox stores the keyring in /keyrings at the root of the entire repository.
• To set a specific base for your repo, export BLACKBOX_REPOBASE=/path/to/repo.

Two-phase commit

• commit makes a local change to the version control system.
• push sends changes upstream to the version control server.

Using BlackBox with gpg2 installed next to gpg

• Run every BlackBox command with GPG=gpg2 if you're using gpg2 alongside system gpg.
