How to show diffs for gpg-encrypted files?

Git supports showing diffs for encrypted files, but has to be told to do so.

git config --global diff.gpg.textconv "gpg --no-tty --decrypt"
echo "*.gpg filter=gpg diff=gpg" >> .gitattributes
echo "*.asc filter=gpg diff=gpg" >> .gitattributes

or

curl -sL https://gist.github.com/marcelosousaalmeida/e6593b93b388cdf1dbc282dffd424d1b/raw/.gitattributes -o .gitattributes

One may also find the following useful :
git config diff.gpg.textconv "gpg2 --decrypt -q"

pass uses textconf = gpg2 -d --quiet --yes --compress-algo=none --no-encrypt-to --batch --use-agent when configured as git repo
