newbie question: Must .git-crypt directory in a repository be committed and not be encryted.

[benibilme]

Hello,

Please bare with me. I have possibly silly question about .git-crypt directory which is created by git-crypt. I want to make sure that I am doing the right thing, possibly not disclosing a something secret.

I see some gpg public keys in this directory and it has its own .gitattributes file which has warning not to encrypt it.

This directory should be added to git repository in which there would be files to be encryted by git-crypt and .git-crypt content should not be encrypted, public keys must be visible.

Could you verify this. Thanks for baring with me.

Thanks in advance.
