In case you choose to store passwords and other secrets within XPipe, all sensitive information is encrypted when it is saved using AES with either:
- A dynamically generated key file `vaultkey` (The data can then only be decrypted with that file present)
- A custom master passphrase that can be set by you in the settings menu combined with the vault key file (This option is only as secure as the password you choose)
- A custom master passphrase that can be set by you in the settings menu, combined with the vault key file (This option is only as secure as the password you choose)
By default, general connection data is not encrypted, only secrets are.
So things like hostnames and usernames are stored without encryption, which is in line with many other tools.
There is an available vault setting to encrypt all connection data if you want to do that.

Some modern git clients also take care of storing credentials automatically.
## Troubleshooting
### Adding categories to the repository
By default, no categories are set to shared so that you have explicit control on what connections to commit.
To have your connections of a category put inside your git repository,
you need to click on the `⚙️` icon (when hovering over the category)
in your `Connections` tab under the category overview on the left side.
Then click on `Add to git repository`, to sync the category and connections to your git repository.
Then click on `Add to git repository` to sync the category and connections to your git repository.
This will add all shareable connections to the git repository.

Any connection under the local machine can not be shared as it refers to connections and data that are only available on a specific system.

Certain file-based connections, for example SSH configs, can be shared via git if the underlying data, in this case the file, have been added to the git repository as well in the `data` directory.
