+`git-crypt <https://github.com/AGWA/git-crypt>` is used to securely store encrypted files
+in the aether-pod-configs repository. Before proceeding, (1) install git-crypt and `gpg <https://gnupg.org/>`,
+(2) create a GPG keypair, and (3) ask a member of the Aether OPs team add your public key
+to the aether-pod-configs keyring.  To create the keypair follow these steps:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   $ gpg --full-generate-key
+   $ gpg --output <key-name>.gpg --armor --export <your-email-address>
