# FAQ
### Secretive doesn't work with my git client
Secretive relies on the `SSH_AUTH_SOCK` environment variable being respected. The `git` and `ssh` command line tools natively respect this, but third party apps may require some configuration to work. A non-exhaustive list of clients is provided here:
Tower - [Instructions](https://www.git-tower.com/help/mac/integration/environment)
GitHub Desktop: Should just work, no configuration needed
### Why should I trust you?
You shouldn't, for a piece of software like this. Secretive, by design, has an auditable build process. Each build has a fully auditable build log, showing the source it was built from and a SHA of the build product. You can check the SHA of the zip you download against the SHA output in the build log (which is linked in the About window).
### I want to build Secretive from source
Awesome! Just bear in mind that because an app only has access to the keychain items that it created, if you have secrets that you created with the prebuilt version of Secretive, you'll be unable to access them using your own custom build (since you'll have changed the bundled ID).
### I have a security issue
Please contact [mailto:max.goedjen@gmail.com](max.goedjen@gmail.com) immediately with details, and I'll address the issue and credit you ASAP.
### I want to contribute to Secretive
Sweet! Please check out the [contributing guidelines](Contributing.md) and go from there.

## Getting Started
### Setup for Third Party Apps
When you first launch Secretive, you'll be prompted to set up your command line environment. You can redisplay this prompt at any time by going to `Menu > Help -> Set Up Helper App`.
For non-command-line based apps, like GUI Git clients, you may need to go through app-specific setup.

### Auditable Build Process
Builds are produced by GitHub Actions with an auditable build and release generation process. Each build has a "Document SHAs" step, which will output SHA checksums for the build produced by the GitHub Action, so you can verify that the source code for a given build corresponds to any given release.
