storing git credentials with gpg and .netrc

  1. set up git credential helper in .gitconfig
    [credential]
        helper = /usr/share/git/credential/netrc/git-credential-netrc.perl
  1. add login configuration to .netrc
    machine github.com
      login <email (or username?)>
      password <password>
      protocol https
    machine bitbucket.org
      login <username (not email!)>
      password <password>
      protocol https
  1. encrypt .netrc (output MUST be .netrc.gpg otherwise helper won't decrypt)
    gpg -ea --output .netrc.gpg .netrc
    shred .netrc
