## Crypt

Files under `secrets` are encrypted using `git-crypt`.

```bash
# Save the key, when the repo is unlocked
git-crypt export-key - | base64 > .key.b64

# Decode (Given the base64 key is written to .key.b64)
cat .key.b64 | base64 --decode > .key
git-crypt unlock .key
```

## TODO

Stuff that I would like to automate, but have not found a way

- Disable the default Spotlight keyboard shortcut. For now manually go to Settings -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Spotlight -> Untick
