GitGoat VS node-config

Doron Guttman and Roei Ben-Harush @ [arnica], April 2023

The downside is that developers can choose to avoid using one of the controls above, such as enabling MFA. In that case, the developers will likely prefer to create a new account and the use git config user.email [personal_email] to add the stats to their accounts. It will require the company to work harder on mapping the author (from the git config) to the pusher of the code (arnica.io correlates this data in the GitHub user inventory, so it is possible to solve with some engineering work).

This meme was created by arnica.io, which solves it. The nice thing about it is that the continuous analysis of excessive permissions is free forever for unlimited users.

You can assess all GitHub app permissions on https://arnica.io. The excessive permissions are presented at the end of the data ingestion process. This is part of the freemium.

Pretty cool way to generate dummy data on GitHub, such as invite members, add them to Teams, commit code and secrets, raise & review PRs, and configure different branch protection policies (such as CODEOWNERS). Link: https://github.com/arnica-ext/GitGoat

node-config

This will allow to set a security operation mode and configure the channels. I chose to use the config package as I had good experience with it and it supports cascading config options.

Tailwind CSS v3.2.4 includes a new @config directive that lets you specify which Tailwind CSS config to use for that file.

Use https://www.npmjs.com/package/config so you can have runtime variables accessible based on provided json's

I am using this node-config package (https://github.com/node-config/node-config) in my project. I feel like I am brute-forcing my way, is there a better way to do this? Any hint would be appreciated or just point me in a direction that would be great. Thank you!

In this article, I'm going to demonstrate how the dotenv and node-config NPM packages can be used together to keep your Node.js application code organized across environments.

#3 Environment-specific config files with Config package

I always disliked the .env file. Almost every time I was forced to place it on the top level of my app directory. At some point i started to use the npm config package. This gives the application a consistent configuration interface and there is a formidable way to implement it into the NextJS environment. For people which prefer code over text, feel free to checkout the finished implementation.

How do I handle configs? In our Node APIs we use this config package, which allows us to override default configs on a per-environment basis. What's the standard way of doing this in Go?
