Spiritual successor to encfs with hardened security.
Notably, having access to multiple versions of the same file does not make this insecure. It is entirely cross platform.

Usage

gocryptfs -init ./encrypted         # create encrypted dir
gocryptfs ./encrypted ./decrypted   # mount encrypted dir
fusermount -u ./decrypted           # unmount encrypted dir

If you only need a read-only mount,
you can use the -reverse param and you'll have some additional options.

# create encrypted dir, excluding certain files
gocryptfs -reverse -init \
  -exclude-wildcard 'build/*' \
  encrypted

gocryptfs -reverse ./encrypted ./decrypted
fusermount -u ./decrypted           # unmount encrypted dir
