Introduction
Announcing git-remote-rclone-reds, which is based off the original effort at datalad/git-remote-rclone, and adds support for the crypt backend.
This is a Git remote helper for backends supported by rclone.
This enables using git pull or git push with a remote git repository stored on popular cloud services with no native Git support. Optionally, it enables using zero-knowledge encryption via rclone's crypt.
As an example, I use this to turn Dropbox into an encrypted, zero-knowledge remote git repository for sensitive repos.
Example
mkdir testrepo; cd testrepo
git init .
echo "Hello world." > xyz
git add xyz
git commit -m "Initial commit."
rclone mkdir mydropbox:test # Assuming 'mydropbox' has been configured
git remote add rclone://mydropbox/test
git remote add origin rclone://mydropbox/test
git push origin -u main
Installation
pip3 install git-remote-rclone-reds
