    Hi HN, we're Lucas and Lucas, the authors of Layerform (https://github.com/ergomake/layerform). Layerform is an open-source tool for setting up development environments using plain .tf files. We allow each engineer to create their own "staging" environment and reuse infrastructure. Whenever engineers run layerform spawn, we use plain .tf files to give them their own "staging" environment that looks just like production. Many teams have a single (or too few) staging environments, which developers have to queue to use. This is particularly a problem when a system is large,…

    I built a small CLI called layer. It manages .git/info/exclude so you can keep local-only files in a repo without adding them to the shared .gitignore. This came from a normal team repo problem. People keep their own local files in a repo: API_SPEC.md, BACKEND_GUIDE.md, ARCHITECTURE_NOTES.md, CLAUDE.md, prompt files, scratch notes, temporary investigation docs, and other markdown files with custom names that are useful for one developer but should not be committed. The usual answer is “just put it in .gitignore”, but that gets messy fast because these files are different for each…

    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…

    Hi HN! I wrote a tool that partially encrypts files based on the presence of a HEREDOC. Check it out: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;higgins&#x2F;privatize When added to a git repo, it will automatically transparently encrypt&#x2F;decrypt files you want privatized. For example if you configured your repo to privatize the file `example.txt`, you could write: ``` Today I a burrito. <<PRIVATE I was on the toilet for hours. PRIVATE I got a lot of reading done. ``` but when git-commit'ed would become: ``` Today I a burrito. <<PRIVATE xuJ0fld2vmNWaVLogTIufmWsiFso PRIVATE I got a lot of reading…
