Although it is currently undocumented, since v0.21.0 you can make `--edit` the default by adding the following to your configuration:

After trying various solutions - including DeskPad - I came up with a custom cross-platform (I'm on macOS, but assume it'll work elsewhere) solution that worked incredibly well on my 40" ultrawide monitor: OBS[1].
Having never used OBS before but knowing it was popular among streamers, I wondered if I could use it to (1) only share the specific applications I wanted to share and (2) share them at a resolution that people could actually read, without constantly being asked to zoom in.
I first tried setting up a virtual camera and sharing via my video stream, but it was laggy and the quality was so poor that people couldn't read what I was sharing. I quickly gave up on that approach.
Then I discovered Projectors[2]. By right-clicking on the main view in OBS and selecting "Windowed Projector (Preview)", it launches a separate window, which I can then share directly via Zoom, Teams, Meet, etc.
Whatever I drag into the OBS view is displayed in the Windowed Projector (similar to DeskPad), with the added bonus that I can choose to blur certain applications that might be dragged in. For example, if I open Slack or my password manager, the entire window blurs until I focus back on my terminal or browser.
It took a bunch of tweaking to perfect, but I'm very pleased with how well it works now.

At first glance, this looks like a direct competitor to Envoy[1].
I'm sure the documentation will improve as the product matures, but right now much is left to the imagination.
Could you perhaps go in to more detail on the differences between the two?

It's far easier to grasp when you consider that Monty opening one of the other 2 doors makes no difference to his offer (since he'll always open a door with a goat behind it anyway), i.e. he could also say "Do you want to stick with your door, or switch to both these other 2 doors?" without the unnecessary misdirection of opening the goat door beforehand.

Interesting. I wonder if this indirectly expedited the price hike? Encryption would make it (practically) impossible for Amazon to deduplicate people's data and store it more cost efficiently.

A word of warning to those considering using this. While I completely understand why people might want to encrypt/decrypt files within their public Git repositories, doing so doesn't come for free.
As Junio C Hamano explains more eloquently and in greater depth here[1], one thing to bear in mind with this (and similar) tools is that they store the managed files as binary blobs, regardless of their original format, meaning that a change to the source file of even a single bit will result in an entirely different uncompressed blob being stored, rather than a compressible textual delta.
