   Infisical – open-source secrets manager▲232

   Last month, we open-sourced Infisical (https://github.com/Infisical/infisical) - a simple, end-to-end encrypted tool to sync environment variables across your team and infrastructure. You can use it to store environment variables and inject them into your applications locally or into CI/CD and production infrastructure.

   Rot - Offline secrets management▲116

   Finally open sourced an internal tool we've been using for managing secrets. It's similar to SOPS, but more opinionated, easier to configure/use correctly, and produces nicer git diffs. It also supports one-way encryption, so you don't have to know the private key to add secrets.

    AxKeyStore▲31

    Hi HN, I built AxKeyStore, an open-source CLI tool for managing secrets that uses your own private GitHub repository as encrypted storage. The idea is simple: → All encryption happens locally. → Secrets are stored as encrypted blobs in your private repo. → GitHub is treated as untrusted storage. → No plaintext secrets ever leave your machine. → No plaintext secrets are stored on disk. Most secret managers either require a hosted backend, a self-hosted server, or trusting a SaaS provider. I wanted something that: → Requires zero infrastructure → Uses tooling developers already have → Keeps…
