# What to do, when nix wants to build the locked repository

Simply delete the source path:

```
sudo nix store delete --ignore-liveness <source_path>
```

# 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 --recursive .git/git-crypt`
- 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
