Hi HN! I wrote a tool that partially encrypts files based on the presence of a HEREDOC. Check it out: https://github.com/higgins/privatize When added to a git repo, it will automatically transparently encrypt/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…

Hi! I got tired of setting up tools I can't explain to a team in a few words like sops or git-crypt, just to store few files with environment variables or secrets, so I built lockenv as a simple alternative. It's basically a password-protected vault file you commit to git. No gpg keys, no cloud, just lockenv init, set a password, and lock/unlock the secrets. This tool integrates with OS keyring, so you're not typing passwords constantly. Should work on Mac/Linux/Windows, but I tested it only on linux so far. I am not trying to replace any mature / robust solution, just…

Greetings HN! I've forked the excellent work done by [vlaci/git-agecrypt](https://github.com/vlaci/git-agecrypt), looks like the original project has not been maintained for a while, so I decided to pick it up, update all the dependencies and add some thorough testing. I like the ability to store sensitive data in public repositories, it's especially useful when bootstrapping new IaC repositories, you don't have anything at the beginning of a new project so there is no place yet to store secrets, this is "a way" of doing it. I know you can use tools like SOPS but I…
