 This is a Go port of [git-agecrypt](https://github.com/vlaci/git-agecrypt) with some slight modifications.
 
-Echoed from the original project:
-
-> ## Why should I use this?
->
-> Short answer: you probably shouldn't. Before considering this approach, take a look at [SOPS](https://github.com/mozilla/sops) and [Hashicorp Vault](https://www.vaultproject.io/) if they are better suited for the problem at hand. **They have a clear security advantage** over `git-age`.
-> 
-> The one use-case where it makes sense to use `git-age` instead is when you want to keep some files secret on a (potentially public) git remote, but you need to have the plaintext in the local working tree because you cannot hook into the above tools for your workflow. **Being lazy is not an excuse to use this software.**

-## Install
-
-1. Install `git-age` in your `PATH`
-2. `git age init`
-3. Add some identities
-  - `git age ident key.txt`
-  - `git age ident ssh`
-4. Set up your config ([example](.git-age.yaml))
-5. Use git like normal.
-
-## Decrypting an existing repository
-
-Similar to initial install, adding identities prior to `init` so that any encrypted files are decrypted during initialization.
-
-1. Install `git-age` in your `PATH`
-2. Clone the repository
-3. Add some identities
-  - `git age ident key.txt`
-  - `git age ident ssh`
-4. `git age init`
-5. Use git like normal
