+.PP
+Keyringer lets you manage and share secrets using GPG and git with
+custom commands to encrypt, decrypt, recrypt, create key pairs, etc.
+.SH ACTIONS
+.PP
+Keyringer has three types of actions:

+Secret manipulation actions.
+.IP "3." 3
+Repository lookup and manipulation actions.

+syntax check.

+.SS SECRET MANIPULATION ACTIONS
+.PP
+All secret manipulation actions operates upon a \f[I]SECRET\f[], which

+\f[C]\&.asc\f[] extension.
+.PP
+Secret manipulation actions do not commit changes into the secret

+After any manipulation, the user has to manually commit the changes.
+.PP

+mode.
+.PP

+.PP
+del <\f[I]SECRET\f[]> : Removes a secret using git.
+After deleting a secret a git commit and push is still needed to update
+remote repositories.
+To completely remove a file from a keyring, you should also rewrite the

+\f[I]SECRET\f[].
