Cannot use hook githubrepo with output git-crypt

[lodpp]

my workaround if it can help others.

I use an exec hook instead of githubrepo ( or even a cron that does the push every now and then)

The drawback is that it's a 2 step process to get this configuration to work.

1 - Start the daemon, it will initialized the git repository but will likely fail to push
2 - Stop the deamon
3 - Go to the backup directory
- git remote add origin $yourGit RepoURL
- check with git remote -v
- git push --set-upstream origin master
4 - To make sure you will have a push next time
- git-crypt unlock
- edit one file sonehow, it's just to make a diff
- git-crypt lock
- git add / git commit ( do not push )
5 - start the deamon again, it should backup the devices, find a diff then push

OR this if nothing has changed
