### Can I use yadm without gpg?
### Can I use yadm without gpg, openssl, transcrypt or git-crypt?

Of course. You only need `gpg` installed if you plan on using the
encrypt/decrypt features. yadm will tell you if it is missing a dependency
for any command.

### Should I `yadm add` encrypted files to repository?

No, you should not. Files you want encrypted should be added to the file
`.config/yadm/files.gpg` using the `yadm encrypt` command. Then
`.config/yadm/files.gpg` should be added to the yadm repository. This way, only
an encrypted collection of those files are put into the repository. After
cloning or updating your repository, you can use `yadm decrypt` to extract those

No, you should not. Files you want encrypted should be added to the text file

Then `~/.local/share/yadm/archive` should be added to the yadm repository. This way,
only encrypted versions of those files are added to the repository. After

[encryption help](encryption) for more details.

### I modified an encrypted file, but yadm doesn't show any modifications. Why?

If you changed files which are matched by `.config/yadm/encrypt`, you must
re-run `yadm encrypt` to generate a new version of `.config/yadm/files.gpg`.
Then `.config/yadm/files.gpg` can be added to a new commit.
re-run `yadm encrypt` to generate a new version of `~/.local/share/yadm/archive`.
Then `~/.local/share/yadm/archive` can be added to a new commit.

### Why do I get the error `Inappropriate ioctl for device` when encrypting.
