Show HN: Gitsafe-CLI – Transparent file encryption for Git repos

I built gitsafe-cli, a Python CLI that lets you transparently encrypt files in a git repo based on patterns (like `.gitattributes`). It supports both symmetric encryption and GPG keyfiles for teams.

Why: I wanted something simpler than git-crypt, with flexible pattern matching, easy setup via `pip install`, and modern crypto defaults.

How: after `gitsafe init`, any files matching your patterns are automatically encrypted in commits and decrypted in your working tree.

I’d love feedback on usability, team workflows, and missing features. Collaboration welcome!
