+# How to remove git crypt [1]:
+To avoid multiple commits and moved around files the following worked for me:
+- checkout and unlock repo
+- remove `[filter "git-crypt"]` and `[diff "git-crypt"]` sections from `.git/config`
+- remove corresponding lines in `.gitattributes` and add changes to the index
+- remove symmetric key (if any) `rm .git/git-crypt -r`
+- remove (encrypted) path only from the index git rm --cached foobar
+- re-add local (unencrypted) path to the index git add foobar
+- commit and push the changes
