A script to configure transparent encryption of sensitive files stored in a Git repository. Files that you choose will be automatically encrypted when you commit them, and automatically decrypted when you check them out. The process will degrade gracefully, so even people without your encryption password can safely commit changes to the repository's non-encrypted files. transcrypt protects your data when it's pushed to remotes that you may not directly control (e.g., GitHub, Dropbox clones, etc.), while still allowing you to work normally on your local working copy. You can conveniently store things like passwords and private keys within your repository and not have to share them with your entire team or complicate your workflow. transcrypt is in the same vein as existing projects like git-crypt and git-encrypt, which follow Git's documentation regarding the use of clean/smudge filters for encryption.

vim-fugitive is a feature-rich Git wrapper for Vim that turns the editor into a powerful Git UI. It provides commands that mirror common Git operations—status, blame, commit, stash, rebase—while threading results into split windows and buffers you can navigate. One hallmark is :Gblame, which overlays line-level authorship directly in your file, allowing fast debugging of changes and context. Another is the tight integration with diffs and staging: you can stage or reset hunks interactively without leaving Vim. Fugitive also understands Git objects and remotes, making it easy to browse commits, open files at specific revisions, or push and pull with minimal friction. It is designed to be composable with other tools and mappings, so Git workflows feel like a natural extension of editing. For many users, it effectively removes the need to switch to a terminal for everyday Git tasks.

zsh-git-prompt is a Z shell prompt script that displays rich Git repository information in your shell prompt, such as branch, ahead/behind status, staged changes, conflicts, and more. It enhances developer productivity in version-controlled workflows. There is now a Haskell implementation as well, which can be four to six times faster than the Python one. The reason is not that Haskell is faster in itself (although it is), but that this implementation calls git only once. You may redefine the function git_super_status (after the source statement) to adapt it to your needs (to change the order in which the information is displayed).
