The `vim-gnupg` plugin lets vim edit gpg-encrypted files as if they were unencrypted.
|
|
|
|
It's probably in your package manager.
|
|
If not, you'll need to endure the faff of following the [instructions](http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3645).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Prompt for password in terminal
|
|
|
|
Check your current gpg-agent configuration:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
gpgconf --list-options gpg-agent
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create file, if it doesnt exit `~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf`:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Force terminal prompts for passwords
|
|
pinentry-mode loopback
|
|
|
|
# Optional: specify which pinentry program to use
|
|
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-tty
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then restart gpg-agent:
|
|
```sh
|
|
gpg-connect-agent reloadagent /bye
|
|
```
