git-credential-manager VS Vault

You can still use HTTPS, just not username/password as authentication. Personally, I think using HTTPS Git Credential Manager is simpler than SSH, as GCM allows you to use GitHub OAuth in your browser to sign in.

Hi, use git Credential Manager https://github.com/git-ecosystem/git-credential-manager been using it with Github and Azure Repo. Make sure that you update your machine global git config to use it.

Download Git for Windows and choose Git Credential Manager (GCM) as credential helper on the installation steps.

This is an application indepentend from git, so best use its channels. A quick search through their Github repo found this issue: https://github.com/GitCredentialManager/git-credential-manager/issues/899

Download the GCM Deb file from here - https://github.com/GitCredentialManager/git-credential-manager/releases/download/v2.0.877/gcm-linux_amd64.2.0.877.deb

When working with external Git repositories it is best practice to use multi-factor HTTPS authentication. It is best to leave the default option by using the built in Git Credential Manager.

(We haven't started using Git Credential Manager Core yet and I haven't done any research into it, so I don't know if it'll throw a wrench in things.)

HashiCorp Vault

For a more comprehensive and robust secret management solution, get your hands on tools like GCP Secret Manager, or HashiCorp Vault. They're like the security guards of your secrets, providing a safe house, access control, and keeping logs of who’s been snooping around.

HashiCorp Vault is a popular tool for managing secrets in Kubernetes clusters. It offers advanced features such as secure storage, encryption, dynamic secrets generation, and integration with Kubernetes through its Kubernetes authentication method.

So you've just bought a new platform tool? Maybe it's Hashicorp Vault? Snyk? Backstage? You’re excited about all of the developer experience, security and other benefits you're about to unleash on your company—right? But wait…

You seem to be looking for a cross-platform solution, and https://www.vaultproject.io/ provides just that. If everything was in AWS, AWS Secret Manager might be great, but imo Vault provides much better platform-agnostic capabilities.

> Refer to Build Certificate Authority (CA) in Vault with an offline Root for an example of using a root CA external to Vault.

Secret Management: Securely stores sensitive configuration data and secrets using tools like AWS Secrets Manager or HashiCorp Vault. Avoid hardcoding secrets in code or configuration files.

The author of this tool basically took the Shamir code from Hashicorp Vault, which is pretty mainstream. If you're looking for a solid implementation, I would start there[0]. I wouldn't use the Shamir code from this repo, as it's an old version of the vault code using field arithmetic that doesn't run in constant time.

Out of curiosity, what do you mean by this? cross-cluster? they already have HA: https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/blob/v1.14.1/website/cont...

while digging up that link, I also saw one named replication: https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/blob/v1.14.1/website/cont...
