GitLocker provides transparent, robust encryption for Git repositories using advanced filter/driver technology. Protect sensitive source code, configuration files, and data while maintaining full Git functionality.
GitLocker integrates deeply with Git using standard filter/driver mechanisms. Developers do not need to change any daily commit habits.
Initializing GitLocker for this repository... ✔ Core encryption hooks verified. ✔ Generated local master key in personal key vault. ✔ Created security profile mapping at .gitlocker/config.json. GitLocker has been successfully initialized! Ready to secure your files.
GitLocker does not lock you into a single key source. It provides two main Key Providers based on your security and compliance needs, switchable at will.
Designed for independent developers or small teams. Keys are fully stored in a local secure sandbox (such as system credential managers or GPG encrypted files), without any central key server.
For team collaboration and enterprise security control. Keys are centrally managed on a hosted Key Server, supporting multi-user authorization, audit logs, temporary tokens, and instant revocation.
Uses industry-standard AES-256-GCM for symmetric encryption with integrity verification (AEAD) to prevent tampering.
Seamlessly integrate different key sources via pluggable Key Providers, adapting to offline, team, or enterprise HSM needs.
Supports rotating encryption keys without rewriting historical commits. New commits use the new key; old ones decrypt seamlessly.
Compared to traditional open-source or hardcoded encryption tools, GitLocker provides more advanced security guarantees.
| Security Dimension | GitLocker | Traditional git-crypt | Standard Hardcoding / Pure GPG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Encryption Mode | AES-256-GCM (Authenticated) | AES-256-CTR (No integrity authentication) | Depends on external implementation |
| Integrity Protection | Strong Verification (Fail-closed ciphertext truncation) | Weak Verification (Vulnerable to bit-flipping attacks) | No Verification |
| Dynamic Key Rotation | Supported (Smooth coexistence of multiple key generations) | Not Supported (Requires rewriting entire repository history) | Extremely tedious, highly error-prone |
| Dynamic Revocation | Supported (Instant server-side revocation of user credentials) | Not Supported (GPG keys cannot be retracted from old commits) | Not Supported |
| Centralized Audit Logs | Yes (Detailed key access and decryption event logs) | No | No |
Out-of-the-box cloud-hosted key management that eliminates local storage and tedious key administration. Supports multi-factor authentication and granular access controls aligned with SOC 2 / ISO 27001 standards.
Secure master keys using dedicated Cloud Hardware Security Modules (HSMs). Every team or project line benefits from physical-level logical vault isolation.
Instantly revoke or suspend member decryption access with one click from the console. Access changes propagate globally via Key Servers in milliseconds.

Get answers to common questions about GitLocker
GitLocker uses Git filter/driver technology to automatically encrypt files when they are committed and decrypt them when checked out. This process is completely transparent to your Git workflow.
Yes! GitLocker can be added to existing repositories. You can choose which files to encrypt and the encryption will be applied going forward while preserving your Git history.
Protect intellectual property, prevent credential leaks, and align development with security compliance seamlessly.
Track and record every key retrieval, decryption request, client IP, and timestamp. Logs are permanently archived for one-click security compliance exports.
Invite team members to secure workspaces with one click. Dynamically grant or revoke specific repository key permissions for different developers through the dashboard to keep collaborative workflows safe and organized.
Git repository encryption for small teams.
GitLocker uses a zero-knowledge architecture, which means we cannot recover your keys. However, we provide secure key backup and recovery options for teams and enterprises.
Yes, GitLocker is SOC 2 Type II compliant, supports FIPS 140-2 encryption standards, and helps organizations meet GDPR, HIPAA, and other regulatory requirements.
