How to install git-crypt on Ubuntu?

git-crypt encrypts and decrypts data in a git repository in a transparent manner. When you commit a file, it is encrypted, and when you check it out, it is decrypted. With git-crypt, you may freely share a repository that contains both public and private information. git-crypt gracefully degrades, allowing developers without the secret key to clone and commit to an encrypted repository. This allows you to keep your confidential information (such as keys or passwords) in the same repository as your code without having to lock down the entire repository. git-crypt was written by Andrew Ayer.
