Easy and straightforward usage
Once the user has its GPG RSA Key-pair ready, running git secret init command will create .gitsecret/ folder, where the secret files will need to be added with the command git secret add <filenames...>, finally using git secret hide, will encrypt the files using the keys added with git secret tell command, then, they will be ready to be committed.

Alejandro Arciniegas's Experience
Very useful tool to hide information in public repositorys or shared workspaces where the data you want to hide is critical. I personally like it a lot, just a few commands and it is good to go.

Can set-up automated users or roles
Some version control systems (VCS) may need access to unencrypted data, with BlackBox this can be done by setting up roles. You can see how here. This can allow accessing encrypted data with a subkey with no passphrase which is useful if other systems in your production environment need to read it.

Multiple VCS compatibility
Can be used with most VCS's out-of-the-box. Unlike other tools that work only with Git, Blackbox supports other VCS's.
